Abstract

Using Art as Research in Learning and Teaching explores various multidisciplinary visual and performing art forms, including creative writing, as ways to provide a rich contribution and understanding to research, learning and teaching. Key figures in the field share their art-based research, arts practice and philosophy, bringing the arts to life within their taught and learnt contexts across a variety of art forms and levels of post-compulsory education. In what is an invaluable collection, this book is directly beneficial to arts researchers and educators, addressing the key challenges and possibilities in a rapidly changing higher education environment. Internationally renowned proponent of arts-based research Professor Shaun McNiff provides the Foreword of this ground-breaking book.
Ross W. Prior is best known for his book Teaching Actors: Knowledge Transfer in Actor Training (Intellect and University of Chicago Press) and his work in applied arts and health as Founding Principal Editor of the Journal of Applied Arts & Health, established in 2009. In 2015, he was appointed inaugural Professor of Learning and Teaching in the Arts in Higher Education at the University of Wolverhampton, United Kingdom.
