Description
Writing as Inquiry Towards Being and Becoming provides a guide to the different phases of growth experienced when undertaking creative forms of academic writing and inquiry. It describes how embodied, aesthetic, and poetic forms of academic inquiry can be a catalyst for both personal and professional growth.
In the author's trademark thoughtful, lyrical writing style, this book moves beyond the technical skills of writing to exploring the reasons why we should engage in creative inquiry. It raises fundamental questions regarding the expansive and ontological possibilities of qualitative inquiry and how it can help us to exist meaningfully in this world.
This book is suitable for students and scholars of creative and qualitative inquiry who are interested in the writing process and how it shapes our identities as researchers in education, the social sciences, and communication studies.
