Fadel Alsawayfa is the Chairperson of the Early Childhood Education Department, the Master in Creative Pedagogies and Community Practices Coordinator, and an assistant professor at Bethlehem University in Palestine. He is a pedagogue and a poet who teaches courses in drama in education, storytelling, theatre, play and creativity, as well as arts-based research and creativity in practice. Dr. Alsawayfa is interested in self-reflexive methodologies that allow people to authentically narrate their stories and lived experiences. He also hopes that poetic inquiry and drama performance will be widely adopted as creative pedagogies and arts-based research approaches, emphasizing their potential to foster creativity and give voice to participants through the development of arts-based participatory research.
