Systemic Inquiry: Innovations in Reflexive Practice Research

Editor : Gail Simon, Editor : Alex Chard

Reviews and Endorsements

Systemic Inquiry: Innovations in Reflexive Practice Research connects research, relationships and ethics in a thoughtful and meaningful way. For anyone interested in taking a systemic constructionist perspective to researching and theorizing practice, the book is a great resource, offering practical guides, a range of methods, along with helpful examples from the experience of authors who are carrying out research in a variety of contexts. What is also important is that each chapter illustrates the 'realities' of doing research - that inquiry is not the structured, de-humanised process many research methods books convey. Instead, it is often a messy, challenging, reflexive and ultimately rewarding experience.
