Poetic Inquiry as Research: A Decolonial Guide


Overview

Poetic inquiry is an arts-based approach integrating the humanities and sciences to enhance the quality of social science research and its dissemination. This insightful guide sheds light on the transformative power of poetic inquiry in academic research. Blending poetry with scholarly work, it offers practical advice on crafting research poems, distinguishing them from literary poems and determining when and how to incorporate them into your studies. The book: - helps researchers to explore and express their research creatively; - emphasises diverse and decolonial viewpoints and paths to knowledge; - features methods, case studies, prompts and exercises from the Global South and North. Perfect for researchers eager to explore new dimensions of expression, this guide enriches all aspects of the research process.
