About this product

Heuristic Enquiries provides an illuminating exploration of heuristic research by offering case studies of heurism in theory and practice across a number of disciplines, including art and design, psychology, psychotherapy, social care, social geography, and indigenous studies. Heuristic research is a major method and methodology in qualitative research, emphasising the value of discovery, whether of the self, or the self with others. It is also misunderstood, misrepresented, and, in certain disciplines or fields, marginalised. This volume offers a major contribution to heuristic research by offering case studies of heuristics from specific disciplines, interdisciplinary practices and professional contexts. The book is introduced with a review of the evolution of heuristic inquiry and includes chapters that discuss a comparative study of heuristic inquiry in AI and in artistic research, heuristic research in a time-limited context, and heuristic supervision. This unique book is a comprehensive overview of the relationship between research and practice for postgraduate and doctoral research students, as well as academics, researchers, and practitioners.
