Collaborative Meeting Around Transformative Potential of Arts Based Health Research

I look forward to a meeting early next week with over 60 professionals, scientists, health researchers, educators and artists at The University of Toronto, people connected to a new collaborative project that has the potential to open the way for innovative and transformative arts based health research in Canada and internationally. It's encouraging to witness the potential for real change in the making as scientists, researchers and artists join together meeting at the same table to discuss how each might contribute to the creative methods and solutions that could profoundly shift the ways we experience, express and understand health research. I'm glad to have an opportunity to participate and to represent IJCAIP The International Journal of The Creative Arts in Interdisciplinary Practice at the workshop. And I look forward to connecting with others with common interests around the creative arts in research and practice for hope and change.
