Arts and Research as a Path to Hope and Change
Creative Arts in Interdisciplinary Practice,
Contributor Features
"Conventional forms of research are primarily results oriented, focus on advancing propositional knowledge and reach limited audiences. In the service of our lofty goal of putting care on the map, we are informed in our research approach by principles, processes and forms related to the arts. The main purposes of arts informed research are to enhance understanding of the human condition through alternative (to conventional) processes and representational forms of inquiry; and to reach multiple audiences by making scholarship more accessible. The methodology infuses the languages, processes and forms of literary, visual and performing arts with the expansive possibilities of scholarly inquiry for purposes of advancing knowledge."

The Voice of the Artist as Researcher
Creative Arts in Interdisciplinary Practice,
Contributor Features
"As an artist researcher I use the arts as form, method, analysis and more as the inquiry itself moves us toward social justice and equity. My work, often done in communities, does its best to be participatory and community based but there are often practical and economic considerations that need discussion. My work recognizes the long-term commitment and hence understands the years it takes to work within and build relationships with communities. It also is familiar with the importance of using art as process and product in communities and how staying with arts practices, staying in the metaphors, reveals significant subjective and
community shifts."
(From, Writing Toward Homelessness, An Artist Researcher's Reflections, "Creative Arts in Interdisciplinary Practice, Inquiries for Hope and Change" pg. 45)
Nancy Viva Davis Halifax Ph.D., Assistant Professor, Clinical Disability Studies, York University brings her interdisciplinary experience to her teaching and research which is located at the intersections of health care, gender, embodiment, difference and disability, arts informed research and pedagogy. She has worked broadly in health research using the arts and documentary and participatory methods with economically displaced persons in Canada. Her research uses the arts for sustaining and creating conversations around social change, self determination, social auto/biographies and for engaging communities in cultural democracy.
