Workshop: Creative qualitative research methods

Creative qualitative research methods engage research participants beyond the limitations of conventional data collection and analysis, ensuring that a diverse array of voices, narratives, and imaginaries are heard.

In this workshop, we share our experiences utilizing techniques such as artbased methods and autoethnography in research.

We delve into topics including the practical, ethical, and analytical challenges inherent in employing creative methods; how they may (or may not) foster a space or practice for dialogue, negotiation, or mediation; and how these practices can be interpreted within specific theoretical frameworks such as relational wellbeing and politicization.
