JAWS, 2019
My embracing of ‘practice research’ (see Hann 2015) seeks to bring the established positions on conducting research through practice together under one heading. Indeed, I had become tired of the circular arguments that would occur about the differences between practice as/ through/based/led research. While these were useful at a granular level, they often side-stepped the larger issues of how practice-researchers across disciplinary areas operate within universities and research ecologies. ‘Practice research’ is loose enough that it does not privilege any of these sub-debates, while also being new enough that it invites a focus on the future.
