Inviting the Emotions Into Research

Creative Arts in Interdisciplinary Practice,
Contributor Features



"As educators, as researchers, we are often taught to not pay attention to our emotions, except to control them and keep them out of our teaching and out of our research. I do the opposite. I invite the emotions into teaching and into research. I believe that we need to listen to our emotions, that we need to pay attention to what they are saying to us, what they are showing us, what they are teaching us."

John J. Guiney Yallop Ph.D. from an article (forthcoming) by Day, L. and Guiney Yallop, J.J., "Researching teaching and learning through poetry: A shared journey".
