Creative Team Work describes a new way of doing rapid ethnography to capture the rich complexity and contradictions of social relations. It is about the imagination, stimulation, and reflection that can come with international, interdisciplinary teams sharing the development, application, analysis, and dissemination of research.

Services Research Foundation/Canadian Institute of Health Research

Health Canada, Her current research is focused on reimagining
long-term residential care, a Major Collaborative Research Project

Ruth Lowndes, DPhil, MN, is currently engaged full time in the

"[The book] contains promising elements of practice often neglected
by traditional quantitative research. This spurs us toward higher
valuing of qualitative study and rethinking the need for balance in
quantitative assessment and service quality." -- Zhong Xin, Journal
of Sociology & Social Welfare
"In Creative Teamwork, a group of researchers tell a fascinating
story about developing a new approach to ethnographic research. The
authors explore how they wrestled with reflexivity, engagement,
analysis, writing, and other theoretical and methodological issues
over the course of creating and doing what they call 'rapid,
site-switching, team-based ethnography.' The result is an important
and engaging narrative about the possibilities of ethnographic
research
that is genuinely collaborative, interdisciplinary, and
international."
- Eric Mykhalovskiy, PhD, Professor, Department of Sociology, York
University
"One of the greatest strengths of Creative Teamwork is that it
explores and elaborates on the processes, ethical dilemmas, and
behind-the-scenes decision-making of conducting interdisciplinary
team research and shows how it is played out in actual case
examples. The volume also puts emphasis on knowledge sharing and
informed interventions-topics that have become increasingly
important when seeking research funding and applying research
results to larger
contexts. I believe this book goes a long way in addressing these
emerging needs."
- Amy Zaharlick, PhD, Emeritus Associate Professor, Ohio State
University
