Abstract
The research space for exploring living practice is replete with latent possibilities for creation and expansion. This is a potential space that, when realised, is situated, collaborative and transformative in nature. It is a space formed and forged through researchers’ curiosity, shaped by their creativity, and cultivated through their care about people. Throughout its creation, this space is sustained by researchers’ reflexivity and responsiveness, qualities that enable the blurred boundaries between research and practice to be embraced. In this chapter we outline key aspects of the multifaceted nature of this space.
