In Praise of Norman Denzin

Abstract

After presenting an “origin story” for qualitative poststructuralism and arts-based research, I write of Norman Denzin's unique contributions to those endeavors. These include his charisma, organizational skills, generous spirit, and commitment to social justice. I briefly review the contributions of his writing, editorships, sponsorship of the International Congress of Qualitative Inquiry, and focus on First Nations.
