Playing Creative Edges

Reflections from “Women Out to Lunch” 5 Years On

  • Chapter
Creative Spaces for Qualitative Researching

Abstract

This chapter is an updated version of Playing creative edges: Performing research – Women Out to Lunch (Horsfall et al., 2007). The focus of these reflections is on motivations, desires and explanations. In updating the chapter we cut the original version nearly in half. While this was challenging, it enabled us to decide what was important, what it was we really wanted to say. This process in and of itself is a reflective one, asking us to let go of words carefully crafted years ago, and to decide what it is we now feel strongly about. Our rewriting is also informed by feedback from readers about what they found useful and interesting in the earlier version.
