Research as Healing: Holding space for creativity, awareness, and connection in research processes and outcomes
This presentation examines the often-unrecognised reciprocal healing potential of doing research in creative, anti-colonial, and anti-oppressive ways.
Drawing on First Nations knowledges and anti-oppressive approaches, the presentation explores what can happen when researchers actually 'do what the ethics guidelines say' and allow ourselves to be led and fuelled by those with whom we are working.
This Re-searching Through the Arts presentation will offer provocation, story, and resource for those wishing to explore the often challenging but potentially nourishing territory of transforming self and system through creative research. While creativity in research offers particular affordances for healing, this presentation is intended to be relevant for all researchers and support staff in all disciplines.
