Reviews

A refreshing and necessary way of thinking about critical military research. Creative Methods in Military Studies highlights the impressive variety of creative work in our field and offers plenty of inspiration for scholars looking to tread a new methodological path.--Nick Caddick, Anglia Ruskin University This book makes me excited for the future of Critical Military Studies as a field of enquiry. The varied methodological explorations in each chapter are fascinating to read about in and of themselves; written, as they clearly are, by researchers with a real thoughtfulness and passion for the approach they have cultivated. More than that, however, the book is filled with the promise of reimaging what and how we can know about military power - of opening up spaces to know militaries and militarism in different, and perhaps more powerful, ways.--Harriet Gray, University of York This book's timely and nuanced set of contributions reveal not only the value of creative approaches in military studies but also chart how creativity, in various forms, is (already) bound with and to projects of military power and violence.--Joanna Tidy, University of Sheffield

This pioneering interdisciplinary collection takes the reader on a journey that explores the often-hidden creativity within military practices and histories, and a range of creative methods that help us generate new knowledge and reflect on who we are as people, artists, and researchers. A fascinating, provocative, and exciting intervention. --Sarah Bulmer, University of Exeter
