"I commend and celebrate the editors and authors for a
remarkable book that engages the reader's imagination, heart, mind,
spirit, and body. Out of creative and courageous commitments to
challenging orthodoxies by living and writing research that is
personal, political, and poetic, these scholars invite the kind of
vigorous dialogue that will continue to promote creative
possibilities for inquiry in the social sciences."
Carl Leggo, University of British Columbia, From the
Foreword
Evocative and provocative, this book presents the points of view
of (often junior) scholars in the social sciences who used
non-standard methods or writing practices to challenge the
"research-as-usual" paradigm in the academy, while at the same time
meeting the demands of quality and rigor set by their university
examining committees and ethical review boards. The intent is to
encourage new researchers who are also considering such a path. The
authors discuss their lived personal experiences within and against
traditional academic research and writing traditions, as well as
their struggles and eventual successes. Chapters are written in
dramatic form, in dialogue, in story, and include poetry,
vignettes, testimonials and autobiographical accounts.
Collectively, they form a unique, distinctive situated polyphonic
case study of research in the social sciences from several
perspectives, challenging the orthodoxies.
