Abstract
Ben Whitburn and Lucinda McKnight are two recent Deakin PhD graduates who thought with metaphor in their doctoral research projects, and fou nd this process both exhilarating and frustrating. Ben teaches in incl usive education, and Lucinda is a professional writer who teaches in e ducation; they bring to this workshop their different perspectives on how metaphor can be useful for consciously initiating creative and coh esive research strategies, and also how it can be insidious in restric ting our worldviews. They will introduce participants to theory underp inning metaphor and provide opportunities to explore this theory in th e context of HDR students' own projects, whether in Humanities, Commun ication, Creative Arts or Education. • How might metaphor assist with inspiring a research design? • How might metaphor invite researcher re flexivity? • What kinds of metaphors have other researchers employed? • What can we learn from the ways in which metaphor inevitably fails? These questions and others will be considered; participants should com e prepared to write, talk, draw and think!
