29.058 - Understanding the Strength of A/r/tography as a Theory and a Research Methodology

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This objectives of this panel are: (1) to briefly highlight the development of a/r/tography, particularly to reveal how it has evolved alongside living inquiry and action research; (2) to explain how it is being applied in K-12 education; and (3) to contextualize how the methodology is being used in other qualitative research approaches. The panelists will explore the thesis that scholars and teachers who are able to understand and act within the three roles of a/r/tography will be better suited to address the complexities inherent in modern education. Drawing on lived experience, this panel will tell different stories of conducting research and give voice to the artistic processes involved.
