Living research practices: Being in creative spaces

This chapter is an exemplar of how we, together and with others, engage in cognitive and artistic critique and create a blend of scholarly and artistic spaces within which to live our research practices. The context of the exemplar is our critical companionship which we set up as a reciprocal learning journey. Angie now locates critical companionship within a paradigmatic synthesis called critical creativity. In this synthesis, the assumptions of the critical paradigm are blended, balanced with, and attuned to creative and ancient traditions and to the natural environment, for the ultimate purpose of human flourishing.
