Using Arts-based Research Methods: Creative Approaches for Researching Business, Organisation and Humanities

Ward, Jenna; Shortt, Harriet

Abstract

This edited collection will showcase a selection of arts-based research methods used in the empirical study of business, management and the humanities. Each chapter is written by an expert in a single arts-based research method including poetry, drawing, photography, film, dance and quilting. For those wanting to undertake a research project utilising an alternative palette of methods this book is a unique resource. Detailed consideration is given to research design, data collection, through to analysis and publication. Our aim is to give confidence to undergraduate, post-graduate and PhD students, early career researchers and those looking for a different approach to their research designs by providing both an overview of the methods’ legacy and development, highlighting particularly influential studies but also a hands-on, practical ‘how to guide’ that offers insightful hints, tips, diagrams, photographs and think points including advice on how to overcome some of the potential challenges on each specialist arts-based method.
