Kip Jones
Kip Jones’ (BA MSc PhD) greatest strength is his ability to get people involved—even excited—about the possibilities of creative human interactions, knowledge-sharing and the potential of qualitative social science endeavours. An American by birth, he has been studying and working in the UK for the past eight years and travelling throughout Europe to learn and engage. Part of his work has involved developing tools from the arts and humanities for use by social scientists in the production and dissemination of qualitative data. His use of the biographic narrative interpretive method in his primary research grew out a love of watching, listening to and telling stories. You can learn more about him (and read/view some of his work) on his website, which he describes as an artistic work-in-progress itself.
