The Arts Based Research Network (ABR) invites you to the following public talk: Deborah Day, "Reflections on arts-attuned Research"

Deborah Day is a faculty member with the graduate program in counselling at Acadia University. She is not an arts-based researcher but, rather, considers herself an "arts-attuned" educator and counsellor. Her scholarship takes up personal development in higher education and in professional careers. Questions of identity are central in the development of professionals and nowhere more so than in counselling, where her teaching is situated. Exploration of her own relationship with the arts assists her to consider identity in grounded ways; to experience vulnerability associated with exposing aspects of identity; to experience and re-experience what it is to be a beginner; to take risks, and to decide when something is "good enough." These ideas will be explored both through examples of her own arts-attuned projects and in assignments developed for courses she teaches.

The ABR (arts based research) Network @ Acadia is a multi-faculty, cross-disciplinary network and provides an opportunity for members of the Acadia University community using, or interested in using, the creative arts in research. It is a forum to share current research projects and to encourage collaboration. The ABR Network @ Acadia also offers opportunities to inform our community about, and to celebrate, arts-based research happening at Acadia University and in other locations.
