I recently contributed to a new book by Dr Hilary Collins on Creative Research theory and practice for Masters and PhD students, researcher’s and practitioners, specific for those within the creative industries.
Contributions were for Managing the Research Process chapter, literature reviews and ethnographic visual research methods.

Creative Research provides students with the knowledge and skills required to conduct effective research projects in creative disciplines and industries. In creative contexts, a visual approach to research is often more appropriate, but this must be underpinned with systematic and rigorous techniques.
The book assesses how academic research methodologies must be adapted to suit the creative disciplines and industries and offers a guide to the process of undertaking a research project in this context.
