<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Embodied inquiry is the process of using embodied approaches in order to study, explore or investigate a topic. But what does it actually mean to be 'embodied'? This book explores why and how we use our bodies in order to research, what an embodied approach brings to a research project, and the kinds of considerations that need to be taken into account to research in this way. We all have bodies, feelings, emotions and experiences that affect the questions we are interested in, the ways in which we choose to approach finding out the answers to those questions, and the patterns we see in the data we gather as a result. Embodied Inquiry foregrounds these questions of positionality and reflexivity in research. It considers how a project or study may be designed to take these into account and why multimodal and creative approaches to research may be used to capture embodied experiences. The book offers insights into how to analyse the types of data emerging from embodied inquiries, and the ethical considerations that are important to consider. Accounting for the interdisciplinary nature of the field, this book has been written to be a concise primer into Embodied Inquiry for research students, scholars and practitioners alike"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Embodied inquiry is the process of using embodied approaches in order to study, explore or investigate a topic.

Grounded in interdisciplinary theorizing and bursting with practical wisdom, this book is a must-read for researchers and students seeking to embody and enrich their scholarship." --<i>Laura Ellingson, Professor of Communication and Women's & Gender Studies of Santa Clara University, USA</i> <p/>"<i>Embodied Inquiry</i> provides useful frameworks for conceptualizing embodied research and numerous examples that show the breadth of possibilities. Leigh and Brown seam together their divergent approaches to embodied inquiry to create a book that speaks to a broad audience. Written in clear and approachable language, the book is a practical guide for both students and scholars interested in engaging in an embodied research process." --<i>Kimber Andrews, Assistant Director, Center for the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning (CET&L), University of Cincinnati, USA</i> <p/>"<i>Embodied Inquiry</i> is a welcome addition to the research methods literature and introduces embodied inquiry as a lens and approach to research. A clearly written, engaging book that speaks to an impressive range of disciplines and theoretical approaches; at its heart are the questions of what kind of research embodied inquiry can be used for as well as the exciting possibilities when you develop it. The authors go through the whole stage of research offering practical but not prescriptive suggestions." --<i>Sophie Woodward, Senior Lecturer in Sociology, University of Manchester, UK</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Jennifer Leigh</b> is Senior Lecturer in Higher Education and Academic Practice at the Centre for the Study of Higher Education, University of Kent, UK. <p/><b>Nicole Brown</b> is Lecturer in Education at the UCL Institute of Education, University College London, UK, and Director of Social Research & Practice and Education Ltd.</p>
