More Description

Parallaxic Praxis is a multi-modal, transmethodological research framework utilized by interdisciplinary teams to collect, interpret, transmediate, analyze, and mobilize data generatively. The term is used as a noun to refer to the model and also as a verb to describe the research practice. The methodology leverages the researchers¿ personal strengths and the collective expertise of the team including the participants and community when possible. The reparative and residual research design benefits include the use of multi-perspective analysis, multi-modal investigations, informal and directed dialogic conversations, and innovative knowledge creation. Relying on difference, dialogue, and creativity propulsion processes; and drawing on post-qualitative, new materiality, multiliteracies, and combinatorial, even juxtaposing theoretical frames; this model offers extensive research possibilities across disciplines and content areas to mobilize knowledge to broad audiences. This book explains methods, theories, and perspectives, and provides examples for developing creative research design in order to innovate new understandings. This model is especially useful for interdisciplinary partnerships or cross-sector collaborations. Examples include possibilities for scholars doing projects in social justice, community engagement, teacher education, Indigenous research, and health and wellness. This book specifically addresses issues of research design, ethics of arts-integrated research, methodology, knowledge generation, mobilization, and dissemination for academics, students, and community partners. Examples include projects in social justice, community engagement, teacher education, Indigenous research, addictions, and health and wellness.
