description: This book presents the first comprehensive introduction to arts-based research (ABR) practices which scholars in multiple disciplines are fruitfully using to reveal information and represent experiences that traditional methods cannot capture. Each of the six major ABR genres--narrative inquiry poetry music performance dance and visual art--is covered in chapters that introduce key concepts and tools and present an exemplary research article by a leading ABR practitioner. Patricia Leavy discusses the kinds of research questions these innovative approaches can address and offers practical guidance for applying them in all phases of a research project from design and data collection to analysis interpretation representation and evaluation. Chapters include checklists to guide methodological decision making discussion questions and recommended print and online resources.
