Performance Matters
Miller-Day, Michelle
Qualitative Inquiry, v14 n8 p1458-1470 2008
After being told in an end-of-year job review that performances are not considered valuable research outcomes, the author argues in this essay that performance matters. This essay makes a case for recognizing performance ethnographies as research, pedagogy, and active service and concludes with guidelines for performance ethnographers who are participating in action research. (Contains 3 figures and 2 notes.)
