This series could be useful to you if you are an experienced qualitative researcher looking for a broader approach to understanding human experience or a new researcher in areas such as: aid and development, counselling, creative and performing arts, creativity and creative processes, creative problem-solving, culture, curriculum design, education, embodied knowing, emotion, empowerment, equality, gender, health, history, Indigenous Peoples, the intuitive, leadership, learning, marginalised peoples, media, personnel management, reflective practice, relationships, the physical, politics, psychology, sociology, spirituality, sport, teaching. This series of books is aimed at enabling new, and more experienced, researchers to investigate and, where appropriate, implement the research methodology I developed during my study of ten artists and how they learn. The broad approach, which I have termed FP-I, is an interweaving of feminist and participatory, informed by indigenous peoples’ worldviews; hence, the series: He Raranga Mātauranga: Tā te Kaikōkiri Mana Wahine, tā te Hunga Whai Pānga, me tā te Tangata Whenua Titiro ki te Ao. An Interwoven knowing: Feminist, Participatory and Indigenous Peoples’ Worldviews. FP-I enables the researcher to explore the lives of people more broadly by including many of the ways through which people ‘know’ (indigenous, cultural, spiritual, collaborative, embodied, etc). Such diverse ways of knowing may include verbal, non-verbal and non- verbalisable elements. The researcher may, therefore, present findings through traditional academic writing, and also in creative forms such as photographs, drawings, video, poetry, music, reflective journal excerpts, image narratives and personal narrative. My particular interest is in creative and performing arts, notably dance; therefore, many of the examples are drawn from my studies in these areas. Since my studies were situated in Aotearoa New Zealand, this series has both Māori and English titles and I present relevant aspects of Māori worldviews as examples of Indigenous Peoples. I also provide diagrams and pictures as aids to clarity and include, as endnotes, all the relevant references. Kia ora koutou katoa – Greetings to you all.

FFoorreewwoorrdd Debbie offers a gift to practitioners and academics alike in this book on creativity and creative process. Drawing on a wide range of indigenous and Western voices, Debbie introduces readers to different understandings of creativity and creative process, offering examples from art-making before delving more deeply into The Bright Creative Life model she offers. The Bright Creative Life model is a helpful guide, an interpretation and even a companion for creative researchers. Additionally, the spaces within the model offer each reader the opportunity to find connections and insights and to enliven their own understandings of creativity in unique ways. So the gift of this book is both in Debbie's generosity as creative researcher and in her recognition of the value of space for the reader's own engagement from their own social, cultural and spiritual contexts.
