Pedagogies of Ontology: Interventions and Intraventions of Practice-Based Research

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This panel enacts and explores an intercultural exchange among four individuals involved in a project designed to create an intervention in an art teacher education program. What will be made evident is how an intercultural exchange in arts based educational research is an ontological approach to becoming inquirers. In this symposium, we reveal how a pedagogical intervention became a site for intense engagement among faculty members, graduate teaching and research assistants, and visiting artists. We suggest that the concepts of intervention and intravention (self-reflexive practices that link engagements) form contiguous and generative relationships that provoke new understandings and intercultural exchanges about ontological processes in practice based research.
