Abstract

What is creative research? Isn’t all research creative? Well, yes it is, in the sense that all research is attempting to create new knowledge and understanding, but no, in that it may follow formulaic rather than creative research methodologies and methods. When we research with people and about people interacting in and with their social and life worlds, and when we are also concerned with bringing about change and transformation of self, others, groups, cultures, systems, practices and organisations simultaneously with knowledge creation, then formulaic approaches are unlikely to be sufficient.
