What is Arts Based Research?
ARTS-BASED INQUIRY: Also known as arts-based educational research (ABER), this is an intellectual and practical development within the broad field of qualitative inquiry that challenges the idea that social inquiry and educational research must conform to norms of science. It reflects multiple interests in the intersection of arts, education, the humanities, and research. This kind of inquiry explores the arts as performance and mode of persuasion, as a means of self-exploration, as a form of pedagogy, and as a mode of representing knowledge. —The SAGE Dictionary of Qualitative Inquiry (2007) This page connects to a collection of web sites that Lesley University students in the Community Arts program have created about Qualitative Arts Based Research. Throughout the semester of Fall 2011, we have talked about the intersection of the arts and research with social science. This is PART 1 of a hybrid seminar, covering the different methods within arts-based research (ABR).It will be posted on November 8, 2011 by 7pm, Eastern Standard Time. PART 2 will be a face to face followup at Lesley University in Room 4-022, University Hall on Tuesday, November 15, 2011.
