A transnational, intercultural, and interdisciplinary discussion of arts-based practices
This collection explores a variety of art forms across different professional contexts, focusing on the ways educational practitioners and leaders from different cultures, disciplines, and organizations practice arts-based research. Beyond Text builds on a multi-year research study wherein participants used the arts to study topics of mutual interest. The project facilitated long-term conversations about arts-based practices among a large and diverse group: twenty-eight people from eight different organizations and with a range of experience levels, across six countries.
This vibrant collection takes the study further, discussing the significant effect arts-based practices can have on research across a range of international contexts. The academic and educational practices explored in the volume go beyond text to give rise to profound questions about the nature of research and education.
