Clarity or Rigour?

This seminar will consider creative experimentation with academic expression, such as research writing. The examples will demonstrate that while the recommendations of typical writing guides are useful, their emphasis on standardisation is also limiting. The presentation will contrast the advice of such prescriptive documents with non-compliant examples of narrative practice in qualitative research, pointing out productive alternatives.

To tell you something about my way of thinking and to show some references, please read my article before the seminar:
