This book presents a variety of narratives on key elements of
academic work, from data analysis, writing practices and
engagement with the field. The authors discuss how elements of
academic work and life – usually edited out of traditional
research papers – can elicit important analytical insight. The
book reveals how the unplanned, accidental and even obstructive
events that often occur in research life, the ‘detours’, can
potentially glean important results.

The authors introduce the process of
‘writing-sharing-reading-writing’ as a way to expand the
playground of research and inspire a culture in which
‘accountable’ research methodologies involve adventurousness
and an element of uncertainty. Written by scholars from a range
of different fields, academic levels and geographic locations,
this unique book will offer significant insight to those from a
range of academic fields.
