Artistic exercises help students become better researchers by tapping into the creative brain
In this updated version of her innovative book, author Valerie J. Janesick extends her dance and yoga metaphors to strengthen her argument that tapping into one's artistic side-the side that is more creative and less inhibited-is fundamental to realizing one's potential as a qualitative researcher. This Third Edition provides a series of exercises that are both imaginative and immensely practical in helping students to see the artistic side of research. This is an ideal supplemental or brief core text for graduate-level Qualitative Research Methods in departments of education, communications, sociology, anthropology, business, nursing, medicine, mental health, social work, and psychology.
