Praise for Patricia Leavy’s Work
“Her work has forever changed the research landscape, inspiring countless careers."- National Women’s Hall of Fame“One of the most visible proponents worldwide of arts-based research"- The Creativity Post“The High-Priestess of Pop Feminism"- Examiner.com“Blue is a joyful, inspiring and painfully beautiful novel written by gifted scholar and writer, Patricia Leavy."- Dr. Norman Denzin“Low-Fat Love is Sense's #1 Selling Book in 2012 and 2013"- Sense Publishers"American Circumstance kept me up! I couldn't put it down. I wanted to see how the characters' lives untangled. I loved how Leavy challenged my cultural assumptions. This book would be great to teach. Students will have a lot to talk about as they discover a 'sociology of everyday life' embedded in the fiction."- Dr. Laurel Richardson"Dr. Leavy has a well-established, international reputation as a scholar and leader in qualitative research methodology, but what makes her work singular is that she is also a public intellectual whose scholarship is taken up by wide-ranging communities."- Dr. Carl Leggo, Professor and Poet“More than anything Low-Fat Love proved the astonishing talent that Leavy is as both a writer and social commentator.”- Dr. Melissa Anyiwo
