This project addresses the contexts of Practice as Research and how to undertake it. This second iteration updates thinking and practices but sustains a direct and clear approach on how to become a practitioner-researcher. New features include an extension of range "beyond" the arts and a case for intra-disciplinarity in Practice Research as an influence in the formation of the "future university". A comparison is made between Artistic Research and Practice Research recognizing that research through practices with being-doing-knowing is central to both. Acknowledging the current crisis in legitimation, a broad view is taken of how things might be known by an onto-epistemology for the twenty-first century foregrounding the bodymind but sustaining rationality and community by way of Other/other dialogic exchange. Perspectives from around the world in Part II offset the more Eurocentric emphasis in Part I.
Reviews / Votes
"An excellent book. This second edition offers a timely re-examination, critically reflecting on new understandings of the role of practice in doctoral-level research, new directions of travel and the ever-shifting terrain in a diverse array of global research contexts. Essential reading for prospective/ extant PhD candidates and supervisors embarking on Practice Research". (Dr Liam Jarvis, Co-Director of the Centre for Theatre Research and Senior Lecturer, University of Essex, UK)"The first edition of this book was like a Rosetta Stone, an academic text which I felt was actually "speaking to me"". (Park Stickney, Jazz Harp Tutor at the Royal Academy of Music, UK, and doctoral candidate at the Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance, UK)

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
