Parallaxic Praxis: Multimodal Interdisciplinary Pedagogical Research Design

'Parallaxic Praxis' offers an overview of an innovative framework for research design. Its focus on interdisciplinarity, multi-modalities, arts integration, cross-sector partnerships, community engagement, and knowledge mobilization is exactly what is needed to tackle complex 21st century problems.

Based on a research model grounded in imagination as method, this bold and important book, dramatically and clearly moves a new tradition of post-qualitative research forward. Fully grounded theoretically, this book presents the reader with several highly developed examples of the parallaxic praxis model within different disciplinary traditions. It is a must have for all researchers wanting to reclaim humanity from a dehumanizing-technocratic reality.

Once again I am transformed by the work of Pauline Sameshima, Patricia Maarhuis, and Sean Wiebe. In their latest book, Parallaxic Praxis: Multimodal Research Design they present a model of inquiry that is relational, contingent, artistic, and generative. For those of us working in dialogic and relational research, I consider this accessible and profound book a must read.

The authors open a lyrical, transcendent, and deeply credible research framework complete with its own lexicon, modalities, and practical conventions. Prepare to re-think everything.
