Discover how fiction can breathe life into your research.

Fiction - in the form of everyday storytelling, prose, plays, films, folktales, and comics - can be powerful and resonant. This engaging book introduces the ways in which fiction can inform, inspire and enliven all kinds of research.

Presenting a range of case studies and examples from diverse disciplines, this book explores how and why researchers have employed fiction and fictional techniques throughout the research process, including using fiction to communicate research findings. An essential primer to thinking creatively with fiction, the book:

discusses a range of theoretical perspectives on the use of fiction in research;
