Ethical Futures in Art Education Research: Unlocking Interlocking Injustices in Academia

This article presents an overview of a case study that uses an arts-based research intervention to support the development of self-care strategies for preservice and in-service art teachers towards improved work-life balance. Three recommendations are provided: (1) the necessity for teachers to individualize practices of self-care; (2) creating communities of care to support the collective design and use of self-care practices and (3) defining boundaries that promote a healthier work-life balance. The author shares reflections on how these recommendations influenced her own pedagogy at the university level, preparing preservice art educators and sustaining the practices of in-service art educators. Assignment prompts, exemplars of self-care artist trading cards and juggling act visualization artmaking activities are presented as well as a discussion on how to model self-care practices for art educators.

Post-humanist participatory arts-based research (PABR) ethics of care raise critical concerns for how researchers orient themselves toward their projects and participants and seek to enact research with care, reciprocity, and respect. From a literature review and five case studies of PABR, I characterize the methodologies that embody critical participatory arts-based research based in values of care, reciprocity, and respect. Further, I critique my participatory visual inquiry project from a post-humanist PABR lens and further envision the co-production of knowledge with human and non-human, emergent participants as acts of care, reciprocity, and respect. In doing so, I open my research to rhizomatic and relational understandings of inquiry that foster alternative knowledges and ontologies about doing research in a community of emergent participants while questioning the ethical limitations of their unknowing and non-consenting participation.
