43.040 - Research as Meaning-Making: Developing a Lens for Understanding the Impact of Aesthetic Education

Sun, April 7, 8:00 to 9:30am, Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel, Floor: Mezzanine Level, Cedar

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

The Call for Proposals invites us to consider how we can “make our research matter to lessen inequality and increase educational opportunities.”
The goal of this Symposium is to present research that invites marginalized voices to the table by including questions and analysis of teachers and students in a discussion around the impact of arts-based inquiry in secondary and higher education settings. These voices are often ignored in educational policy debates, but it is their voices that must be heard if we are to penetrate the “post-truth” fog. Research methodologies include autoethnography and discourse analysis of student talk and writing. Through our studies of our teaching practices we seek to fulfill Arendt’s notion of “spaces for action.”
