Rezensionen

"Livholts's academic work has been about changing social work from within through creative writing. It is her way of seeking answers to things like which questions should be posed, what can be known and by whom, and what counts as knowledge."

Christa M Mäkinen, Communication specialist, University of Helsinki

"This is an excellent book that, apart from the pleasure of the text, also offers a great variety of ideas for graduate reflexive methodological and writing workshops. Livholts has used materials from this book in her teaching and in the last section of Part II, she has compiled a very useful list of open questions and concerns in guiding 'situated writing'."
