"The book "Creative Arts in Interdisciplinary Practice, Inquiries for Hope and Change" was created as an illustrative collection of articles which would show by example how the creative arts in research working actively with qualitative (and other aligned approaches) can help point to a new path for hope and change while making a meaningful difference for individuals and society. This is a contemporary research collection targeted to a very broad interdisciplinary audience which crosses borders and includes academics and non academics, educators, researchers and artists, healthcare professionals, those active in social service and advocacy work, activists and policymakers. In keeping with our broad communication goals, articles and chapters are written intelligently in accessible language and include illustrative examples of work in practice. It was our intention to show, by way of example, the considerable breadth and scope of the research. The accounts traverse methodological borders while addressing multiple challenges and serving diverse populations in practice. That being said articles share a common interest in mobilizing communities for justice and social change."
