Drama education has been lacking a research methodology. This much needed text provides models constructed by leading researchers in the field and presented at the International Drama in Education Research Institute Conference in 2004.Each chapter in this collection from across the Anglophone world describes a different research methodology. It explains how the methodology was applied to the practice and outlines how teachers and other researchers can employ it in their own contexts. Led by the editor's chapter on the context of research, the contributions include: The Process of Institute Research Stations by Philip TaylorThe Reflective Practitioner by Jonothan NeelandsCritical Ethnography by Kathleen GallagherNarrative Inquiry by Bellarie ZatzmanA case study by Joe WinstonPerformance Ethnography by Jane BaconPost-structuralist Deconstruction by Ian McCormickFeminist Methodology by Sharon GradyThe book will be essential reading for research students and teachers because it provides models and approaches that connect with the immediacy of their practice.
