About this book
Whether it is doing a TEDx, presenting a podcast, sharing on social media, presenting at a conference, or pitching to a potential funder, engaging with storytelling and performance is now a prerequisite of an academics 'modus operandi.' Exploring the relationship between and the key concepts associated with storytelling and performance, crime, and criminology, this book offers practical tips and insights into creative methods for presenting research, disseminating criminological knowledge, giving lectures, and developing pedagogy.
The book presents a reflexive account of the author's experiences of using creativity with incarcerated men and women. Drawing on a range of topics including ethical storytelling, presentation literacy, poetic inquiry, staging ethno-drama, crime fiction, and auto-ethnography, it makes a clear and compelling case for a creative criminology and a performative social science.
Written by a seasoned criminologist, theatre director, storyteller, and dramatist, this is essential reading for all those interested in using creative methods of knowledge as a tool to explore the complex landscape of crime and justice.
