"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."
