In an era of rapid technological change, are qualitative researchers
taking advantage of new and innovative ways to gather, analyse and share
community narratives?
Sharing Qualitative Research presents innovative methods for harnessing
creative storytelling methodologies and technologies that help to
inspire and transform readers and future research. In exploring a range
of collaborative and original social research approaches to addressing
social problems, this text grapples with the difficulties of working
with communities. It also offers strategies for working ethically with
narratives, while also challenging traditional, narrower definitions of
what constitutes communities.
The book is unique in its cross-disciplinary spectrum, community
narratives focus and showcase of arts-based and emerging digital
technologies for working with communities. A timely collection, it will
be of interest to interdisciplinary researchers, undergraduate and
postgraduate students and practitioners in fields including
anthropology, ethnography, cultural studies, community arts, literary
studies, social work, health and education.
