Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Allan deSouza (2018) reframes arts’ “inability” to adhere to word dominance as “a refusal, a rejection, as well as an ability.” The arts have long been embraced in educational curricula as avenues to access more than language when engaging in conceptual inquiry and expression. However, we rarely extend that flexibility to our own sense-making practices as educational researchers. How might embracing art’s ability to hold meaning as layered and unsettled serve the processes of inquiry in collaboration with all who contribute to our research? In this symposia, we highlight ways in which the arts are critical to educational research in moving beyond written academic text as “preeminent” in the methodologies, pedagogies, and outcomes of our work (Bagley & Castro-Salazar, 2019).
