Speaking Data and Telling Stories is a captivating exploration of the intersection between academia and performance art. Martin Glynn introduces a revolutionary approach to research dissemination known as Data Verbalization, which transforms complex data into engaging spoken word, jazz, hip-hop, and reggae theatrics. This innovative method empowers marginalized researchers to share their voices and perspectives with a wider audience, challenging traditional norms of academic communication. Glynn's work advocates for a more inclusive and impactful research landscape, where data is not merely presented but performed, creating a powerful and emotionally resonant experience. The book offers practical guidance for researchers seeking to adopt Data Verbalization, providing insights into the creative process, performance techniques, and audience engagement strategies. By bridging the gap between theory and practice, Glynn's work inspires a new generation of researchers to think critically about the role of performance in shaping knowledge and driving social change.
