Description
Book SynopsisArts education research has increased significantly since the beginning of the new millennium. This peer-reviewed book, the first of two volumes, captures some of the exciting developments in Canada. There is geographical diversity represented from across this large country, as well as theoretical and methodological diversity in the chapters. There is also a sense of togetherness with those, and other, diversities. There are calls to action and calls to play. We hear voices of artists, researchers, and artist researchers. The life histories of others, and of the self, are presented. Perspectives on Arts Education Research in Canada, Volume 1: Surveying the Landscape provides a wide spectrum of current research by members of the Arts Researchers and Teachers Society (ARTS)/La societé des chercheurs et des enseignants des arts (SCEA), a Special Interest Group (SIG) within the Canadian Association for Curriculum Studies (CACS), which is in turn, is a constituent association of the Canadian Society for the Study of Education (CSSE). Contributors are: Bernard W. Andrews, Julia Brook, Susan Catlin, Genevieve Cloutier, Yoriko Gillard, Kate Greenway, Michael Hayes, Nané Jordan, Sajani (Jinny) Menon, Catrina Migliore, Kathryn Ricketts, Pauline Sameshima, and Sean Wiebe.
Trade Review"This compendium offers critical perspectives utilizing various arts-based research methodologies reflective of the richness and diversity of the multicultural landscape of Canada. A must-read for all arts educators and researchers." – Rodger Beatty, Brock University "What a feast! This book presents a fascinating panoply of post-qualitative research in Canada. With a diverse range of methods, including a/r/tography, auto-ethnography, life history, embodied poetic narrative, historiographic poiesis, proestry, stitching a story cloth and more, artist/scholars leverage the power of the arts to explore, come to know, and represent. Addressing topics from disaster relief to Indigenous arts education to the tortures of teaching practice the authors evocatively demonstrate the enormous potential of researching with and through the arts to enliven understanding." – Benjamin Bolden, UNESCO Chair in Arts and Learning, Queen’s University “This compilation offers new directions in arts-based and arts-informed research with profound implications for pedagogy and practice. You will find in the pages of this book, engaging and thought-provoking ideas from arts education scholars in Canada. I felt inspired by each contribution and am convinced that this book provides timely and valuable insights for future research in arts education.” – Susan O’Neill, Dean, Faculty of Education, Simon Fraser University
