Biography
Kathleen Gallagher is a Distinguished Professor at the University of Toronto, Canada, and author of many books and articles on theatre, youth, pedagogy, methodology, and gender, and travels widely, giving international addresses and workshops for practitioners. Her research continues to focus on questions of youth civic engagement and artistic practice, and the pedagogical and methodological possibilities of theater.
This collection updates with new authors (and generations) and new topics in new times for ethnography. Inclusive globally, methodologically (including the quantitative) and both expected and unexpected topically, it helps us situate ourselves in the complicated spaces of inquiry in our time of now. With a focus always on the ethical and political, it is designed to be of use in keeping qualitative research moving and alive.
