Description:
Poetic Inquiry is a feminist, liberatory methodology that can enhance our teaching, research, and practice. In this workshop, participants will discover the uses of poetry as research and teaching practice and will gain experience with using poetic inquiry as a research and pedagogical method of data analysis and representation. We will discuss the benefits of using poetic inquiry in research and teaching, research projects where poetic inquiry would be a useful research tool, and practice some poetic inquiry exercises. Participants will leave the sessions with some ideas for how to use poetic inquiry in their teaching, research, and practice as well as some poems crafted from exercise prompts.
It would be helpful to have a copy of Sandra L. Faulkner, Poetic Inquiry: Craft, Method, and Practice, 2nd ed. (2020, Routledge), but it is not necessary.
