Bringing my creative self to the fore: accounts of a reflexive research endevour

This 'writing-story' explores how reflexive and embedded methodologies may be conducive to the adoption of creative forms of expressing knowledge gained through research experiences. A sample of my attempt to break some of the traditional boundaries of the academic prose is provided: firstly, through the discussion of the centrality of reflexivity to the development of my attempt to provide an intersubjective narrative of my study; secondly, by showing the style of narrative I chose to use in my research reporting, one which involved the use of photographs to create ambience and stimulate the readers' engagement with the context of my research.
