Abstract
![CDATA[In 2002 I completed my doctoral thesis Daughters of Persephone: legacies of maternal 'madness' (Catherine Camden Pratt 2002) which used creative arts and critical auto-biography as auto-ethnographic method. In this chapter I discuss these as research method and as a way of representing research in critical social sciences. In it I focus on aspects of writing, painting, collage and symbol use. I highlight the political challenges of these cross-disciplinary and messy ways of researching within the academy.]]
