Meticulous and rich, the book incorporates theoretical density with practice-based insights. […] Martin’s work supports the wider acceptance of Practice as Research (PaR) in academic settings as a rigorous and comprehensive mode of critical inquiry and knowledge production.

[…] What distinguishes this text is the meeting of scholarship and self-reflective practice, or as Martin puts it, the fluid process of inquiry between researcher and researched.
