"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
