Description:
"This book is both an invitation and an initial guide for people interested in pursuing an imaginative and holistic approach to human inquiry. The book begins with an introduction to collaborative inquiry, including an exploration of the key ideas from pragmatism and phenomenological traditions, and then examines collaborative inquiry in the context of other action-oriented methods of inquiry. The rest of the book provides readers with guidelines for conducting a collaborative inquiry from forming a collaborative inquiry group through to making meaning and constructing knowledge. It shows readers how effective collaborative inquiry demystifies research and treats it as a form of learning that should be accessible by everyone interested in gaining a better understanding of his or her world. The guidance provided is equally relevant for conducting collaborative inquiry in an academic setting. As such, it is a resource for those interested in highly participative forms of qualitative research and human inquiry."--BOOK JACKET.
