The Unsettled Career of Tami Spry

Abstract

This essay serves to honor the outstanding, yet unsettled, career of performance studies and qualitative inquiry artist and scholar Tami Spry. Though performative writing, I employ the metaphor of searching for a bookcase with the right qualities to house her numerous works while weaving in references to many of the scholarly performances, books, and journal articles she has written throughout her career. This essay not only honors Tami Spry’s unsettled legacy, but it also demonstrates the creative performative writing techniques I have learned by watching her spectacular career unfold.
