The Arts Based Research Network (ABR) invites you to the following public talk:
Ardra Cole, “Installation Art as Research”
Her talk will draw on a decade-long program of research on caregiving and Alzheimer’s disease to explore and discuss installation art-as-research: what it looks like, why it is important, how it engages, what it requires of researchers and audiences, what is gained and lost, and some of the inherent challenges. The presentation, followed by a discussion, will include a virtual tour of three arts-informed research exhibits.
Quiet Reading Room, Vaughan Memorial Library
Speaker Bio: Ardra Cole is Associate Vice-President, Academic and Research, Mount Saint Vincent University, Halifax, Nova Scotia and former Professor and Co-director, Centre for Arts-informed Research, University of Toronto. As a qualitative research methodologist Ardra has published extensively in conventional and non-conventional academic prose and in alternative, scholarly, non-print media. She is co-editor of the Handbook of the Arts in Qualitative Research (2009) as well as a series of books on the role of the arts in research: The Art of Writing Inquiry (2001); Provoked by Art (2004); The Art of Visual Inquiry (2007); Creating Scholartistry (2008) and The Art of Poetic Inquiry (2012).
Ardra has guided numerous graduate degree candidates to complete arts-informed doctoral and Master's degree theses employing poetic, fictional, performative, and visual arts inquiry processes and forms for addressing educational and social issues. She and a group of faculty, students, and staff at Mount Saint Vincent University recently established the Centre for Arts-informed Research and Teaching.
Ardra’s most recent venture, spinning off from her decade-long program of research in the area of caregiving and Alzheimer’s disease, is as Founder and Director of the not for profit organization, ElderDog Canada–an exciting new venture that honours and supports older dogs and older adults and the vital connection between them.
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.
