In company with its sister volume, Arts-Based Research Across Visual Media in Education explores arts-based approaches to research across media, including film and comics-related material, from a variety of geographic locations and across a range of sub-disciplines within the field of education. This second volume has a focus exclusively on visual output and image-based research and methods.
The book aims to highlight some of the approaches that are not always centered in arts-based research. The visual takes center stage as authors lead with comic-based representations, among other forms of arts-based inquiry. These chapters follow on from the first collection and serve to expand thinking about merging creative methods with analysis and exploration in the world of education. From mixtapes to the curatorial, these chapters showcase the ways in which scholars explore the multitude of human experiences. This second volume covers amongst other topics: comics in qualitative research; visual journaling; multi-modal fieldnotes and discourse, and creative visual outputs.
This is a unique resource for graduate students and scholars interested in qualitative inquiry and arts-based methods, in Education and the Social Sciences.

Recenzijas
'Editor Jason DeHart assembles an impressive array of contributors for this unique collection of arts-based research resources. The chapters address the spectrum of artistic modalities from poetry to music, from comics to movement, and from ethnodrama to visual art. A diverse range of scholars bring their contemporary, experiential voices to their stories, writing with insight, passion, humor, and vulnerability. Qualitative researchers from multiple disciplines will find the two-volume Arts-Based Research Across Textual/Visual Media in Education a valuable and inspirational reference for creative approaches to social inquiry.'
