This book boldly reframes story-making as a form of artistic research grounded in creative practice. Through vivid examples, it demonstrates how collaborative artistic processes can unsettle entrenched hierarchies, open up alternative forms of knowledge-making and attend more sensitively to issues of power, ownership and consent.

'This book offers researchers an inspiring challenge to think about stories more holistically and ethically. Doing so will improve research practice.' Helen Kara, We Research It Ltd
'A rare and generous book, bringing theory and practice into vivid conversation. Attentive to the ontological, epistemic and ethical stakes of creative inquiry, it opens new ways of thinking about how stories are made, shared and lived with. An inspiring and indispensable companion for anyone working with stories, arts-based methods or creative approaches to research'. Melis Cin, Lancaster
'As a Post-it enthusiast, I was hooked the moment I read, ‘In Dartington, I became obsessed with Post-it notes.’ As I read on, I kept rewriting and crumpling up my notes. I’m intrigued by ‘thinking through making’. Am I a researcher, an artist, or what? Should I leave my Post-its behind and embrace Blu Tack, sequins and beads? What I am sure of: goodbye, extractive, instrumentalised storytelling.’ Rizqan Adhima, Qualitative Researcher
