How can we present our research findings so that they are more accessible – and particularly to those we have researched?
This presentation reports two cases where doctoral students played with performative presentations of their case study data: one using stick puppets and overhead projections (Greenwood & Hasnat, 2017), the other using dramatic monologues (Tisi & Greenwood, 2018). It highlights positive effects of playing with data, including accessibility to audiences, highlighting of the human aspects of what are sometimes seen by policy as statistical problems, and new crystallisations of meaning. It also opens questions about the ethical responsibilities of researchers who play in these ways.
It draws on discussions of arts-based research, ethnodrama and of a range of post-approaches to research.
