Fictionalised Voice
When your professional cultures are designed to divide rather than unite. When you need more than knowledge and skills to survive and thrive. When your workplaces are seats of silence and disengagement. Facts ask for fiction to come in for help: to fashion an imaginary space and to allow the scattered selves into a dialogue. This book as a fictionalised dialogic narrative, illuminates the art of living in the Pakistani higher education. Through his insider researcher lens, Imran Anjum leads his readers to meet a few teachers who, in an imaginary space, experience what it means to unite, engage, and thrive in a collegial world that can exist beyond silence.
The book serves three major purposes. First, it puts forward an alternative approach to reporting data in narrative inquiry. Participants enter new relationship where they, in an imaginary interactive dialogue, explore their experiences and make sense of their life events. Second, it is a 'protest' against the wide-spread intellectual isolation in the Pakistani higher education sector that disallows collaboration among colleagues who share responsibility. Third, this book offers my colleagues in the context an invitation to experience how it feels like when collaboration in the workplace is put to practice as means of supporting and strengthening collegial academic values, and of making academic life rewarding.
