Imagination disrupts the bureaucratic spaces of life. Imagining other
ways of seeing, thinking, feeling, acting opens alternative universes
of possibilites. Imaginative Spaces is dedicated to developing and exploring
approaches to social, cultural, educational and political research to
encourage innovation and creativity in all areas of persoanl and social
life.
Imaginative Spaces is a sister site to the Enquiry
Learning Unit (ELU) maintained by John
Schostak. where the ELU provides a range of introductory
resources for qualitative
research and discusses contemporary
issues for the education of children and professionals, Imaginative
Spaces specifically focuses upon emancipatory approaches to designing
research projects and practices.
This site is currently being developed by John Schostak and Jill Schostak.
It begins with the imaginative spaces opened up by Jill's
doctoral thesis as a resource to
explore qualitative research methodologies and free up thinking, expression
and action.
