Making Connections in and Through Arts-Based Educational Research

This book explores the connections made in and through arts-based educational research through four themes: socially engaged connections, culturalconnections, personal and pedagogical connections, and making connections during the COVID-19 pandemic. It emerges from the 3rd bi-annual 2020 Artful Inquiry Research Group symposium on the theme of "connections". The symposium brought together artists, community members, teachers, students, and researchers through a virtual platform to examine the way(s)in whichthe arts can help connect people, ideas, and spaces/places inapandemic reality. Art plays a predominant role in each chapter as authors weave their research and art-based understandingstogether. This book is a valuable teaching resource for undergraduate and postgraduate courses in teaching, anthropology, digital ethnography, autoethnography, cultural studies, and communications. It is of interest tohigher education students, academic researchers, and teachers exploring arts-based methodologiesin the fields of creative practice and creativity studies, communications, critical studies, sociology,sciences,teacher education, and the arts.
