The Road to Found Poetry
Understanding Peopleâs Perceptions and Lived Experiences Creatively
Series:
Author:
This book isbased on the author's Educational Doctorate thesis. The Road to Found Poetry introduces the use of found poetry as an alternative means of knowing and understanding in various educational and non-educational contexts. Its ambition is to encourage educational researchers, educators, academics, undergraduate and postgraduate students, and practitioners interested in experimenting with a novel approach of analysis, presentation and dissemination that helps in gaining a deeper insight of research participantsâ experiences.
The book moves beyond the traditionally accepted methods of doing research and offers a better understanding of peopleâs perceptions and lived experiences. This new arts-based research methodology is participatory in nature and gives voice to researchers and research participants. It creates possibilities for researcherâs reflexivity and participantâs agency.
