Creative Research Methods

“A really insightful book with broad coverage of creative methods, an excellent ‘go to’ text for students who are considering using creative research methods. I find particularly valuable the inclusion of reflective questions at the end of each chapter, this will encourage students to think about the applications of what they are reading in their own project contexts.” Louise Gascoine, Durham University“Thank goodness for Helen Kara’s work. Written in an easily accessible style, Kara tells it like it is and guides her readers beyond her own text to further reading and exploration. In terms of getting bang for one’s buck, this is exactly what a second edition should be - substantively re-worked from the first edition, with considerable new content and chapters.” Sharon Inglis, Staffordshire University“Inviting the researcher to make the research process attractively creative, Kara extends the scope of the western research tradition, while simultaneously demonstrating rapid growth in the creative research sphere.” Chats Devroop, University of KwaZulu-Natal
