On Careful & Engaged Knowing

This page has a sampling of some of my recent writing on methods, methodology, epistemology and what I refer to as “careful and engaged knowing”. Much of this writing is collaboratively written with my colleague and long-standing writing partner, Dr. Natasha Mauthner (University of Aberdeen).

Natasha and I are now in the last stages of completing a co-authored book on reflexive and relational knowing processes. The book is forthcoming (late 2012 from Sage Publications).

Some of our scholarly articles and book chapters are downloadable here. Articles and chapters that are in press are not currently available online. Please contact me if you would like a copy of any of these articles, and please check back regularly because I will continue to update with links to newer
publications.
