Moreover, what counts as research within the academy constrains practices and methods that may more authentically articulate the phenomena being studied. When external forces limit methodological practices, research innovation slows and homogenizes.    This book aims to address the methodological, interpretive, ethical\/procedural challenges and tensions within theatre-based research with a goal of elevating our field’s research practice and inquiry. Each chapter embraces various methodologies, positionalities and examples of mediation by inviting two or more leading researchers to interrogated each other’s work and, in so doing, highlighted current debates and practices in theatre-based research. Topics include: ethics, method, audience, purpose, mediation, form, aesthetics, voice, data generation, and research participants. Each chapter frames a critical dialogue between researchers that take multiple forms (dialogic interlude, research conversation, dramatic narrative, duologue, poetic exchange, etc.).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Drama Research Methods: Provocations of Practice is an outstanding and important book. This engaging, well-crafted, and highly original collection makes significant contributions to performance studies and arts-based research. It is a must-read for anyone interested in how theatre arts can merge with teaching and research practices. I applaud the editors and contributors. Bravo!\" - Patricia Leavy, PhD, author of Method Meets Art (Guilford Publications, 2009) and Low-Fat Love (Sense, 2015)    \"What the reader comes away with [after reading this book] is an unusual peek behind the curtain of arts-based educational research (…) In Drama Research Methods, the editors crafted a text that had a clear intention – there would be no more hero narratives or success stories, which so frequently pervade educational drama research publications (202). (…) Duffy, Hatton, and Sallis have effectively closed the circle, marrying methods and practice in a way that more accurately reflects the field.\" - Jonathan P.
