Arts Based Research

In Conclusion

"Perhaps the function of educational research is not to draw near certain conclusions about states of affairs that generalize, but rather to secure technologies of mind that will enable us to peer more deeply into situations that might not be the same as the one that we study." -- Eliot Eisner, "Persistent Tensions in Arts Based Research," a talk presented at Stanford University (2005)

Discussion Questions

• In your own words, what is the definition of ABR?
• What are the reasons for using ABR approaches?
• When is it NOT appropriate to use ABR approaches?
• How might ABR be used to promote social justice?
• Where does art end and ABR begin (and vice-versa)?
