The Uniqueness of Practice

Abstract

Editors Lelia Green and Brad Haseman should be applauded for mounting a collection of articles on this crucial topic. The volume is convincing on many levels regarding the research value of the outcomes and activities described. However, like many theme issues of journals, this collection as a whole is caught between offering diverse perspectives and providing a sustained argument. Lelia Green introduces the 'perfect storm' of factors that constitute the terms of the debate and illuminates the implications of these factors, emphasising the need to establish a better sense of what 'innovation' means in regards to creative research.
