There has been a growing interest in the role of arts and cultural
practice in tackling perennial forms of social exclusion,
marginalization, and oppression. Researchers and educators from
different disciplines have been collaborating with community-based
agencies and community groups to forge new ways to challenge these
forms of exclusion. This volume discusses how various social
actors, work in interdisciplinary and cross-institutional ways to
push an agenda that privileges those individuals and groups, who
experience and live at the front line of social inequality,
discrimination, racism and oppression. For instance, what new
understandings are generated through creative, interdisciplinary,
action oriented work, and the implications for social action and
transformation? How are community pedagogies constructed and
communicated through arts-based research, contemporary and
innovative mediums such as creative performances, arts,
technologies, mixed-cultural practices and social media and
networking? This collection of articles, blurs the lines between
cultural practice and knowledge production, with the process and
products coming in the forms of theories, creative methodologies,
and a range of arts. Together these act as powerful pedagogical
tools for engaging in social justice and transformative work. The
contributions further highlight the multifaceted and diverse ways
of creating and disseminating knowledge, and the attempts to
decenter text-based ways of communicating in hopes of sharing
collaborative knowledge beyond the academy and engaging the
'public'. This volume was originally published as a special issue
of the International Journal of Inclusive Education.
