Recenzje

'This is an inspiring book, alive with creative ideas that showcase powerfully collaborative research. It is engaged with critical debates on identities, leisure, sport, physical activity and health, and it will enthuse readers to explore the potential of creative and arts-based approaches in socially inclusive research – with children and beyond.'

Dr Brett Lashua, Lecturer, IOE Faculty of Education and Society, University College London, UK

'In this new book, Dr Pang employs creative and arts-based methodologies in her sociological foray into the sporting, physical activity, and health experiences of British Chinese children. This is much needed work now and in the future for multicultural societies challenged by complicated questions of inclusivity, mobility, and wellbeing of next generations.'

Dr Michael Mu, Associate Professor, Enterprise Fellow, Centre for Research in Educational and Social Inclusion, University of South Australia

'This engaging book outlines the various creative and innovative research methods employed by Dr Pang in her study with British Chinese children. In discussing both methodological and social considerations, it offers an important insight into the complex lived experiences of this under-researched group.'

Dr Rachel Sandford, Senior Lecturer, School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences, Loughborough University, UK

'Power is rarely given up willingly, in the research enterprise it requires critical thought and reflection throughout the research journey. Where children and young people who are under-researched are concerned herein lies an additional ethical dilemma. For scholars like Dr Pang, this commitment to inclusion and social justice, consultation and co-production has to be more than theoretical.'

Emeritus Professor Kevin Hylton, Equality and Diversity in Sport and Education, Leeds Beckett University, UK

'Dr Pang’s book offers theoretical insight and practical guidance to academics in their understanding of creative and inclusive research methods, as well as an analysis of the challenges, and, sometimes unexpected, delights of the process. As an artist working within academic research, I’m pleased to see the use of creative methods recognised and validated.'
