Produktbeschreibung

Poetry can be both political and pedagogical. It is utilised in a variety of ways in research to enhance, critique, analyse, and express different voices.

Poetry, Method and Education Research brings together international scholars to explore issues as diverse as neoliberalism, culture, decolonising education, health, and teacher identities. A key strength of the book is its attention to poetry as a research method, including discussions of "how to" engage with poetry in research, as well as including a range of research poems. Poetry is thus framed as both a method and performance. Authors in this book address a wide variety of questions from different perspectives including how to use poetry to think about complex issues in education, where poetry belongs in a research project, how to write poetry to generate and analyse "data", and how poetry can represent these findings.

This book is an essential resource for students and researchers in education programmes, and those who teach in graduate research methods courses.

Rezensionen

This book is terrific. It covers the wide-ranging power of poetic inquiry across disciplines and continents. Bringing together in one place a collection of creative and diverse ways of writing poetry as a method of inquiry. I am in awe!

Laurel Richardson, Distinguished Professor Emeritus, Ohio State University

This book offers an exciting approach to critical and decolonizing methods in education research. Poetry is often the super-power that can reach and engage learners in ways that connect their feelings and thoughts, their bodies and experiences, their dreams and voices. In the hands of critical educators and researchers it can open up new possibilities and insights. The authors in this book approach this super power with respect, awareness and hopefulness.

Professor Linda Tuhiwai Smith, The University of Waikato

Pushes the fields of poetic inquiry and education forward, beautifully documenting how poetry may be used to subvert dominant ideologies and collaborate with indigenous partners. Every researcher and creative writer should have this on their bookshelf - makes a wonderful addition to courses that deal with pedagogy, education, methodology, and social justice."

Patricia Leavy, Ph.D., author of Method Meets Art and Spark

An extraordinary and important book. This is a text that sings to the reader. Its poetry, and its writing about poetry, lifts us, transports us; and it calls us, too, to see poetry's capacity for subversion and resistance. It makes us want to write poetry, and to bring poetry into our inquiries. What a gift.

Professor Jonathan Wyatt, The University of Edinburgh, UK

Reading this collection of poetic, personal, and inspiring essays reminds us why creating space for poetry and imagination in the academy is vital. The editors have gathered authors from around the world that breathe life into research, lean on uncertainty, and challenge the status quo in beautiful, convincing ways. A must read for educators and researchers in all fields!

Professor George Belliveau, University of British Columbia, Canada
