Abstract
After reaffirming the practitioner as a researcher, this chapter outlines the myriad of research methodologies available for the CPResearcher. The chapter explains a variety of qualitative research methods (as these are the most common forms of Critical Praxis Research) and explains bricolage, a mixing of approaches that blurs research genre. The chapter also explores quantitative and mixed methodological approaches to research. Acknowledging the variety of ways with which CPResearchers approach their work, the author invites us to embrace this variety as artistic, creative, and reflective of Self.
