KIP JONES, an American by birth, has been studying and working in the UK for more than 20 years.
Under the umbrella term of 'arts-led research', his main efforts have involved developing tools
from the arts and humanities for use by social scientists in research and its impact on a wider
public or a Perfomative Social Science.

Bournemouth University for 15 years.
He is now a Visiting Scholar and and an independent author and scholar.

Kip has produced films and written many articles for academic journals and authored chapters

social media.
His ground-breaking use of qualitative methods, including Auto-fiction, biography
and auto-ethnography, and the use of tools from the arts in social science research
and dissemination are well-known.

Jones acted as Author and Executive Producer of

A short reading list for Arts-based Research

I have been using Academia.edu recently to upload my writing to the net.  I have found the response to this very satisfying.  For example, my unpublished PhD Thesis, which remained more or less in oblivion on my personal website for over a decade, now has had more than 275 views since I uploaded it on Academia.edu.

All on one site, I can keep up with numbers of views, where viewers are coming from and what keywords happen to land people on a specific paper.

I have, therefore, changed the URLs in the sidebar Reading List here to direct readers to the Academia.edu version.

Below I offer a short list of my papers over time that were central to developing Performative Social Science, or the use of tools from the arts and humanities in carrying out and/or disseminating social science research.
