About this listen

Research is anchored by assumptions. How do we complete research—and why? This book—The Three Monkeys of Research—explores epistemology, ontology and methodology. Tara Brabazon explores how ideas become knowledge, and how arguments are verified, believed and disseminated to scholars, stakeholders and citizens.

Easy to listen to & understand, Tara uses humour & classics from popular culture to illustrate. Definitional, insightful & immediately applicable to research I value this above other dry research books. Chapter on storying vs storytelling is a gift to social sciences, humanities, lived experience & women's studies. LOVE the content, style & thought provocation of this little book. BRILLIANT.

Brilliant MUST read for HDR students

This is a fabulously small book that takes the reader through the essential criteria of research design; epistemology, ontology and methodology. After these ingredients are explained,Tara takes us to positionality and finally to storying. A great book that I feel I will be returning to again and again.
