Riassunto

<div>This open access book explores creative and collaborative forms of research&nbsp;praxis within the social sustainability sciences. The term co-creativity is used in&nbsp;reference to both individual methods and overarching research approaches.&nbsp;Supported by a series of in-depth examples, the edited collection critically&nbsp;reviews the potential of co-creative research praxis to nurture just and&nbsp;transformative processes of change. Included amongst the individual chapters&nbsp;are first-hand accounts of such as: militant research strategies and guerrilla&nbsp;narrative, decolonial participative approaches, appreciative inquiry and care-ethics,&nbsp;deep-mapping, photo-voice, community-arts, digital participatory&nbsp;mapping, creative workshops and living labs. The collection considers how,&nbsp;through socially inclusive forms of action and reflection, such co-creative methods&nbsp;can be used to stimulate alternative understandings of why and how things are,&nbsp;and how they could be. It provides illustrations of (and problematizes) the use of&nbsp;co-creative methods as overtly disruptive interventions in their own right, and as&nbsp;a means of enriching the transformative potential of transdisciplinary and more&nbsp;traditional forms of social science research inquiry. The positionality of the&nbsp;researcher, together with the emotional and embodied dimensions of engaged&nbsp;scholarship, are threads which run throughout the book. So too does the question&nbsp;of how to communicate sustainability science research in a meaningful way.</div>
