Relating Poetic Inquiry as a Bridge between the Arts and Sciences

In a rapidly changing world, it’s important to prepare students for possible future career paths. Using a “wicked science” training framework, participants will explore the creative potential of arts-based research (ABR), more specifically poetic inquiry, to view and understand research and teaching in a new way and from multiple perspectives. In the first session, participants will be introduced to ABR methods and how they can expand upon both qualitative and scientific methodologies. Then, they will apply these methods to their own research and teaching contexts through the process of poetic inquiry between sessions.

Event Dates: July 24 & July 8, 2025

Registration opened on Monday, June 9 at 11 AM CT and will remain open until capacity is reached. The workshop is limited to 40 participants, with enrollment prioritized for CIRTL members and alumni on a first-come, first-served basis.
