Social Fictions Series Series Editor Patricia Leavy USA
The Social Fictions series emerges out of the arts-based research movement. The series includes full-length fiction books that are informed by social research but written in a literary/artistic form (novels, plays, and short story collections). Believing there is much to learn through fiction, the series only includes works written entirely in the literary medium adapted. Each book includes an academic introduction that explains the research and teaching that informs the book as well as how the book can be used in college courses. The books are underscored with social science or other scholarly perspectives and intended to be relevant to the lives of college students—to tap into important issues in the unique ways that artistic or literary forms can.

PRAISE FOR REVIEW
“Although continuing to hit upon important personal, societal and political issues, so much social science these days ‘embalms’ the subject. The subject’s essential vitality, movement and energy is all but lost in the ever increasing obsession and requirement to ‘drill down’, ‘interpret’, ‘make-sense’, ‘theorize’ and find meaning. Gray and her contributors do nothing of the sort. Instead, through their art they let the subject ‘breathe’ and speak for itself. The result is no less academic, no less insightful; in fact it is quite remarkable. Through the animations of three plays we experience the doing and happening of being a child of a queer family, of being a person with dementia or their family member, and of being involved in exclusion and violence as a young member of a racial minority. Gray talks about difference in her introduction. For sure the three plays reinforce the idea that dif
