This original new book represents a variety of art forms across
different professional contexts. Its focus is on the ways that
educational practitioners and leaders from a range of cultures,
disciplines, professions and organizations practice arts-based
research, and it explores how these can enable innovative means of
learning and enhance professional and organizational development.
This vibrant project allowed for long term systematic conversations
between a large and unusually diverse group of twenty-nine people
from eight organisations in six countries. It was unusually diverse
in many senses: for some the word 'data' meant little, for others
it was central to their daily work; for some artistic practice was
core, while for others the arts were a means to an end; while some
were social entrepreneurs running their own companies others were
researching in universities and a number were doing both; some were
working within the STEM disciplines of business, management,
engineering, science, technology, sustainability and the built
environment, others were in the social sciences of social and
health care, education and youth work while others were engaged in
rapid or long term social and cultural action as a means of
resisting state violence and military occupation; some worked in
one of the safest countries on the planet, others in one of the
most tear-gassed refugee camps in the world. Within these
professional groups there were also ranges of experience, for
example senior researchers, early career researchers, PhD students,
seasoned professional artists and newcomers to arts forms. Whilst
the main communication of this group was English, six other major
languages were spoken, Estonian, Finish, Catalan, Spanish, Arabic
and key stakeholders bought Swedish and Japanese into the space.
This meant that while the conversations in and about arts-based
practice were transnational, interdisciplinary and systematic, they
had all the messy, troubled-ness that the intercultural on all of
the above levels brings with it. This unique and exciting
collection discusses how creative arts practices can have a
significant impact on research across a range of international
contexts, drawing on their own field of research and educational
experience. For instance, drama, music, dance and visual arts can
be used to understand how learners internalise concepts, reflect on
how decisions are made in the midst of action in leadership
education, or investigate the use of the intuitive alongside the
rational and analytical in their educational experience.
Non-textual arts-based forms of research can also provide modes of
investigation into pedagogical and professional practices when
applied to fields that normally lie outside of the arts. Its
greatest strengths are its focus on arts-based research as a way of
learning in a variety of contexts, and often in collaboration. Its
consistent theoretical, artistic and professional engagements make
it a very readable and engaging read. The representation of a
variety of art forms across different professional contexts means
that this book will have appeal to several readerships in higher
education, including the following groups. Academics and
practitioners using arts-based methods in organisation and business
settings. Researchers in the arts and researchers generically in
the social sciences, humanities and arts. University students of
the arts, education and professional studies, especially those
interested in the wider international and intercultural diversity
of research methodologies. Those working in international research
teams using any form of qualitative research will also find this
collection very interesting. It also has potential interest for
groups outside higher education with an interest in arts-based
research - for example community groups looking to explore
collaborative projects.
