Upcoming IJCAIP Issue Features Book Contributors

In the upcoming issue of IJCAIP, The International Journal of the Creative Arts in Interdisciplinary Practice, Issue 9, February 2010, “Expressing the Human Story” we are featuring two full text papers, the first by IJCAIP Advisory Board member, Johnny Saldana, Professor of Theatre, School of Theatre and Film, Arizona State University, “Ethnodramas About Health and Illness, Staging Human Vulnerability, Fragility and Resiliency”, a descriptive selective literature review of thirty-eight ethnodramatic play scripts about health and illness. The second full text article featured will be contributed by Susan K. MacRae, former Deputy Director of the University of Toronto Joint Centre for Bioethics, “To Be Human with Other Humans, A Caregiver’s Narrative” which illustrates how qualitative approaches and expressing the human story through written accounts and narrative can be transformative and healing for the caregiver. Both papers were originally published in the research book “Creative Arts in Interdisciplinary Practice, Inquiries for Hope and Change”. An IJCAIP project, this book is the first book in the CAIP Research Series and was published by Detselig Temeron Press, Calgary, (Editor, Cheryl McLean and Associate Editor, and IJCAIP Advisory Board member, Robert Kelly, University of Calgary). The contemporary research text introduces an emerging and rapidly growing field with a dynamic collection of illustrative articles contributed by leaders across many disciplines who use the creative arts in research and practice, among them leading academics and highly respected adult educators, artist/researchers, playwrights, directors and dancers, nurse educators, physicians, dietitians, social work educators, and environmental activists.
This book "Creative Arts in Interdisciplinary Practice, Inquiries for Hope and Change" was released August 2010.
