Performative Social Science - submit an abstract for this special issue
Theatrical monologues, posters, postcards, exhibitions... there seems to be a name for the new approaches we've experimented with in our research practice: Performative Social Science. At least, that is how the editors from FQS call it. The Forum for Qualitative Social Science (FQS) invites you to submit an abstract for a special issue on Performative Social Science. The aim of the Special Issue is "to bring thoughtful reflections on and manifestations of Performative Social Science (PSS)". "Those engaging in this new performative social science are developing arts-based research methods and dissemination techniques in order to both investigate deeper and reach wider audiences". FQS is an innovative (it's for free, it's online and the editors have great ideas for special issues), and good (peer reviewed) online journal.
