Creative Research

Research with indigenous peoples worldwide carries long histories of exploitation, distorted representation, and theft. New “indigenizing” methodologies centre the production of knowledge around the processes and knowledges of indigenous communities. Creative research methods involving artistic practices—such as photovoice, journaling, digital storytelling, dance, and theatre—may have a place within these new approaches, but their applications have yet to be systematically explored. We conducted a scoping review of 36 international research studies literature on arts-based research with indigenous peoples. The majority of studies used photovoice and were conducted in Canada, USA, Australia, or New Zealand. We identify five primary fields in which arts-based methods may offer benefit to an indigenous research agenda: (a) participant engagement, (b) relationship building, (c) indigenous knowledge creation, (d) capacity building, and (e) community action. We propose several opportunities to further explore arts-based methods with indigenous peoples.

Indigenous Ways Of Knowing

Our arts-based curriculum encounter occurred in a graduate course on arts-based research methods. For a class project we engaged in an inquiry on the question: “What does it mean to live on this land?” which we explored through various arts-based activities. The question challenged us to think deeply about our relationship with and responsibilities to the land we occupy. The inquiry raised for us and, in various ways, implicated us in issues around geographical settings, historical contexts, colonization and nationhood, relations as/with Indigenous peoples, Indigenous ways of knowing, relations with the natural environment, exploitation of the land, the environmental crisis, and our own family histories and personal journeys. In this paper, we share the reflective writings of four inquiry participants interspersed with some images from our work together.

This is a review of the book, Empowering Students as Self-Directed Learners of Qualitative Research Methods, edited by Janet C. Richards and Wolff-Michael Roth (2019). Authors of the book include university faculty members and their students who share how they teach and learn to conduct qualitative research. Inclusion of international authors who describe how they use a variety of Arts Based Research methods and specific examples of steps in conducting and reporting qualitative research are some of the strengths of this book. In this review, I will focus on chapters that highlight the strengths of the book and its usefulness to the field of qualitative research.

This study is situated within a self-study research methods course to scaffold doctoral students’ explorations of the intersections of their culture, and research interests using arts as a tool. Embracing the arts as a research method, the first author painted a self-portrait using the vibrant colors of Madhubani art which holds cultural significance to her. She utilized Blumer’s (1986) and Mead’s (1934) theory of symbolic interactionism to explain the process of her self-development as a researcher. Combining her self-portrait with an earlier research study proved valuable as a conduit for understanding and interpreting her work as a research methodologist. This study is valuable to others interested in studying their practice and research identity through an arts-based research method.

Abstract BackgroundKnowledge translation platforms (KTPs) are intermediary organisations, initiatives or networks whose intent is to bridge the evidence into action divide. Strategies and tools include collaborative knowledge production, capacity building, information exchange and dialogue to facilitate relevant and timely engagement between researchers and decision-makers and other relevant stakeholders. With the wide range of definitions and descriptions of KTPs, there is a need to (a) provide a nuanced understanding of characteristics of KTPs and (b) assess and consolidate research methods used in mapping and evaluating KTPs to inform standardised process and impact evaluation. MethodsThis scoping review will follow the recommended and accepted methods for scoping reviews and reporting guidelines. Eligibility for inclusion is: any conceptual or empirical health-related qualitative, quantitative and/or mixed method studies including (a) definitions, descriptions and models or frameworks of KTPs (including those that do not self-identify as KTPs, e.g. university research centres) and (b) research methods for mapping and/or evaluating KTPs. Searches will be carried out in PubMed, Scopus, CINAHL, EMBASE, Global Health and Web of Science using search terms and synonyms for ‘knowledge translation platform’ and ‘evidence-informed decision-making’, without any date, language or geographic restrictions. Two reviewers will independently screen titles and abstracts. One reviewer will complete data extraction for all included studies, and another will check a sample of 50% of the included studies. All reviewers will be involved in the analysis process. The analysis and synthesis will provide: (a) an understanding of the various characteristics of KTPs; b) insight into characteristics or factors that make them resilient and/or adaptive to facilitate impact (i.e. influence policy and practice); and (c) an overview of the different methods for mapping and evaluating KTPs.DiscussionResults of the three aims above, will permit us to explore enhancing an existing matrix or framework for classifying KTPs or perhaps even developing a new framework for identifying and monitoring KTPs if necessary and relevant. This would be a helpful first step in establishing as well as evaluating KTPs.
