About the book >.>.> This book has been generated by the myriad collaborative writing groups that have emerged from the interdisciplinary research centre for narrative inquiry (NIC) within the Graduate School of Education University of Bristol. The NIC has an international reputation for and interest in both writing as a form of inquiry and specifically collaborative and participatory research methods. This book places a diversity of approaches to collaborative writing alongside each other and explores these methods and the spaces between them as critical arts-based inquiry practices within the social sciences. It is not intended or written as any kind of a handbook more of a scrapbook containing summative and rich prologues to each section and substantive chapters (some adapted from work previously published in international peer-reviewed journals). fragments and snippets of ‘writing in progress’ as well as more extensive excursions into a range of approaches to writing collaboratively including: collective biography; call and response (to people to landscapes and to “what happens’ in the writing spaces); ‘take three words’; poetic writing: writing in scholarly communities and/or on retreat and writing between various twos and threes in a range of ways). This book seeks to illuminate but also to investigate and interrogate these emergent spaces particularly as a critical gesture towards the individualised market-driven agendas and neo-liberal practices of the contemporary academy.
