Description

This book presents a variety of narratives on key elements of academic work, from data analysis, writing practices and engagement with the field. The authors discuss how elements of academic work and life � usually edited out of traditional research papers � can elicit important analytical insight. The book reveals how the unplanned, accidental and even obstructive events that often occur in research life, the �detours�, can potentially glean important results. The authors introduce the process of �writing-sharing-reading-writing� as a way to expand the playground of research and inspire a culture in which �accountable� research methodologies involve adventurousness and an element of uncertainty. Written by scholars from a range of different fields, academic levels and geographic locations, this unique book will offer significant insight to those from a range of academic fields.�Typham this is the title: Cultivating Creativity in Methodology and Research In Praise of Detours
