“…ShannonBaker explores culture shock through integrating arts-informed research, operationalized as inquiry in which art is an influential data source and accessible to the reader within a qualitative research study (Cole & Knowles, 2008). In her article, "But I Wanted to Appear Happy": How Using Arts-Based and Mixed Methods Approaches Complicate Qualitatively Driven Research", she advances the use of artsinformed research approaches in conjunction with qualitative methods for offering a more nuanced understanding of culture shock experienced by ten U.S. undergraduate students participating in a shortterm study abroad program.…”

“…We highlighted the importance of valuing visual objects and artifacts, as they represent and reflect students' identities and social and cultural backgrounds by exploring the affordances of artifacts as stories. Combining artifacts and objects with the literacy practices and listening to students' stories and narratives about them can generate many possibilities (Barton, 2014;Cole and Knowles, 2008;Finley, 2008). Firstly, artifacts as stories provide students with opportunities to empower their literacy skills artistically because, as mentioned earlier, telling a story requires creation, artistic, and imaginative expression, and reflexivity.…”

“…(Bogumil et al, 2015, p. 2) In the light of the above definition, we can state that various representational forms of expression exist in arts-based inquiries and these forms contribute to the understanding of others' lives. Thus, as Cole and Knowles (2008) claim, these representational forms of inquiry enhance the perception of the human condition. Through subjectivity, interpretations, lived experiences, and revealing emotions, researchers and co-researchers can create meanings, which contribute to knowledge construction (Bogumil et al, 2015).…”

“…As the researcher's subjective and reflexive presence is the primary characteristic of arts-based inquiry (Mcniff, 1998;Finley, 2008;Cole and Knowles 2008;Barone and Eisner, 2012), it is necessary to provide a brief overview of reflexivity. Reflexivity is defined as "the awareness of the researcher's own presence and contribution to construction of meanings throughout the research process" (Bogumil et al, 2015, p. 3).…”

This paper makes a debate on arts-based methodologies in terms of their application to literacy practices of students' wherein out-of-school artifacts are used to reveal stories about students' lives and strengthen their creative and critical thinking skills. It is argued that different stories and narratives emerge when we listen to students' narrating about artifacts, thus we claim that the application of artsbased methodologies to the field of literacy would enable educational researchers to obtain useful information about students' identities, values, and cultural backgrounds, and assist students artistically in using their creativity, imagination, and self-reflection in the narration process. Throughout the paper, the importance of multimodal literacy practices and how such practices can be enhanced through the use of narratives; the issue of self-reflexivity to emphasize students' subjective and reflexive presence as co-researchers in arts-based inquiries; and the issue of visual objects as modes of arts-based inquiries are discussed. A discussion on artifacts and everyday objects as reflections of others' lives and self-identities is also presented. Finally, artifactual literacies as both mode and medium in arts-based research are introduced.Key Words: Arts-based research, narratives, critical thinking, literacy research.

Okul dışı eserlerin öğrencilerin yaşamları hakkındaki hikayeleri ortaya çıkarmak ve yaratıcı ve eleştirel düşünme becerilerini güçlendirmek için yararlı olduğu savunulmaktadır. Öğrencilerin eserler hakkında anlattıkları farklı öykü ve anlatıların ortaya çıktığı ve böylece sanat temelli yöntemlerin okur-yazarlık alanına uygulanmasının eğitim araştırmacılarının öğrencilerin kimlikleri, değerleri, ve kültürel geçmişe odaklanmaları ve öğrencilere sanatsal anlamda yaratıcılıklarını, hayal gücünü ve kendini yansıtmayı anlatım sürecinde kullanmalarında yardımcı olduğu tartışılmıştır. Makale boyunca multimodal okur yazarlık uygulamalarının önemi ve bu tür uygulamaların anlatıların kullanılması yoluyla nasıl arttırılabileceği; öğrencilerin sanata dayalı araştırmalarda eş araştırmacılar olarak öznel ve refleksif varlığını vurgulamak için öz-refleksivite meselesi; ve sanat esasına dayanan araştırma biçimleri olarak görsel nesneler konusu da kapsanmıştır. Nesne ve günlük objeler üzerine başkalarının hayatlarının ve öz kimliklerinin yansımaları olarak bir tartışma da sunulmuştur. Son olarak, sanat temelli araştırmalarda hem mod hem de orta olmak üzere yapay edebiyatlar tartışılmıştır.Anahtar Sözcükler: Sanat-temelli araştırma, kişisel hikayeler, yaratıcı düşünme, okur-ya...

“…Research based in and informed by art is broadly grounded in assumptions that describe a qualitative paradigm. These defining aspects, articulated by Cole and Knowles (2008), include a commitment to a particular art form that is reflected in elements of the creative research process and in the representation of the research text. Another distinctive trait is methodological integrity, which refers to having a rationale for the use of a particular art medium for guiding the inquiry or representation.…”

Visions and Voices: An Arts-Based Qualitative Study Using Photovoice to Understand the Needs and Aspirations of Diverse Women Working in the Sex Industry

The ways in which sex workers have been studied and represented historically, socio-politically and academically do not take into account their voices, subjective experiences and participation in the process. Women working in the sex industry are seldom heard and their needs are consistently defined and represented by others. This contributes to the stereotyping and stigmatization of sex workers, while academic research is consistently being done on sex workers instead of with them.This study uses the arts-based research method of photovoice with individuals working in the sex industry in Portland, Oregon to understand their needs and aspirations through their own artistic self-representation. Understanding sex workers' needs from their own point of view provides the opportunity for collaborative knowledge creation of important issues in order to enhance social service design and delivery, and advocate for social change. Valuing sex workers' aspirations supports the acknowledgement of individual strengths, skills, and visions.Drawing from techniques of interpretive phenomenological analysis methods, the themes that emerge to illustrate the participants' needs and aspirations include: sustainability of the body; nourishment of the heart; fostering of the mind and soul; social justice and activism; dreams and desires; and self-empowerment and identity. The participants create meaning from their photographs through the use of self, performance, bodies, emotions, imagination, intellect, humor and story-telling. The role of intersectionality informs the sex workers' diverse experiences and their unique ways of self-expression.ii The researcher uses collage as reflexivity to illustrate, contextualize and reflect her physical, emotional, and mental experiences throughout the study. The multiple art exhibits that ensue from this study allow for the artists' visions and voices to travel to a broad audience beyond academia, in order to reach influential community advocates and challenge stigma and stereotypes. This arts-based study presents the richness and complexity of alternative forms of data, invites new levels of engagement that are both cognitive and emotional, and provides creative ways through which to explore and understand the experiences of sex workers.iii Dedication This dissertation is dedicated to the eleven artists featured in this study, who shared their lives, loves and wisdom with me.
