Creative~Relational Inquiries in the Wild accompanies researchers and writers drawn to the possibilities of what ‘creative~relational inquiry’ might offer. Departing from the well-trodden paths of traditional, procedural qualitative methodology, each chapter explores how creative~relational inquiry invites an engagement that is intricate, intimate, and emergent. The volume meets the intrepid inquirer/reader by providing lively exemplars from those who are ‘doing’ creative~relational inquiries in and for their research. Each author approaches creative~relational inquiry differently: there is no one way to do a creative~relational inquiry and there is no one to say who is or is not doing it ‘correctly’. The book will enable readers to find their own ways of plugging the creative~relational into their research projects.
