Bringing together academics, artists, practitioners and 'community
activists', this book explores the possibilities for, and tensions
of, social justice work under the contemporary drive for
community-orientated 'impact' in the academy. Threading a line
between celebratory accounts of institutionalised community
engagement, self-professed 'radical' scholarship for social change
and critical accounts of the governmentalisation of community, the
book makes an original contribution to all three fields of
scholarship. Showcasing experimental research and co-production
practices taking place in the UK, Australia, Sweden and Canada and
within universities, independent research organisations and
internationally prestigious museums and galleries, the book
considers what research impact could look like for a wide range of
audiences and how universities could engage with different publics
in ways that would be relevant and useful, but may not necessarily
be easily measurable. Asking hard questions of the current impact
agenda, the book offers an insight into emerging routes towards
co-production for social justice.

Adrian Howells (1962-2014) was one of the world's leading figures
in the field of one-to-one performance practice - the act of
staging an event for one audience participant at a time. Developed
over more than a decade, Howells's award-winning work demonstrated
not only his enduring commitment to this genre of performance, but
also his determination to find new challenges and innovations in
performance art, 'intimate theatre' and socially engaged art. It's
All Allowed, edited by Deirdre Heddon and Dominic Johnson, is the
first book devoted to Howells's remarkable achievements and legacy.
Contributors here testify to the methodological, thematic and
historiographical challenges posed by Howells' performances. Citing
his permissive mantra as its title, It's All Allowed includes new
writing from leading scholars and artists, as well as writing by
Howells himself, an extensive interview, scores and visual
materials, which together reveal new insight into Howells's
groundbreaking process.
