63.053 - Knowing Our Research Differently: Multimodal and Arts-Based Methods of Data Analysis and (Re)Presentation

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This session seeks to explore the ways that three educational researchers came to know their data and their research processes differently through the use of multimodal, arts-based research (ABR) methods. Each researcher will highlight the ways that non-traditional approaches to data analysis and composition throughout their dissertation process not only helped them to reexamine their own experiences alongside their participants, but also unified their researcher, artistic, and educator identities. Session participants will view examples of ABR including bodily writing, performative inquiry, and digital video composition and engage with the researchers in a conversation about the significance of each method.
