This book provides a means of comprehensively grounding and
considering the epistemological and philosophical underpinnings of
practice-based research epistemologies. By introducing readers to
the diverse array of methodological tools and concepts that are
necessary to underpin postgraduate research, this book develops an
understanding of the distinctions between practice-led research,
practice-based research and question-led research, and the
contextual significance of each, as well as enabling students to
comprehend the historical relationships between academic
disciplines and the value of reconnecting them at an
epistemological and philosophical level. Through illustrated
examples from applied practice across disciplines such as art,
social sciences and medical and allied healthcare sciences, readers
are encouraged to develop the capacity to not only think
conceptually about their own research, but to systematically
evaluate that of others. With this focus on descriptive studies
from practice, the book fosters higher-order critical thinking in
relation to implications for methodological implementation,
encouraging deep learning processes and the confidence to transcend
the limits of one's own discipline in order to work collaboratively
with researchers in different fields.

The riddles of desire, youth, old age, poverty, and wealth are laid
bare in this radiant collection from a master of the form. From
inner-city pawnshops to highpowered law firms, from the desert of
California to the coast of France, The Flounder paints a vivid
portrait of how complex and poignant everyday life can be. Told in
vibrant, incantatory prose, these moving, lyrical, and surprising
stories teeter between desperation and hope, with Fulton showing us
what lasts in an impermanent world.
