The Politics of Action Research: a storytelling inquiry

Dear all,

I'd like to draw your attention to a newly-published book on the Politics of Action Research that Andrew Rixon and I wrote together: https://www.cambridgescholars.com/product/978-1-0364-1650-8

The book draws on stories from multiple action researchers and explores/celebrates their endeavours of overcoming resistance to action research. The Cambridge Publications web page has the foreword written by Bob Dick and the first chapter of the book.

Over the next few months, we will undertake book launches in conjunction with a workshop designed for researchers using stories as their data. These face-to-face or on-line workshops will draw attention to this book along with the other three published in the series, which provide a source of discussion for people using stories as the data for their investigations. If you are interested in attending or hosting one of these workshops/book launches, please contact me at drgeofhillip@gmail.com
