Join us for a day-long workshop on artful inquiry!

We welcome researchers, instructors, students, and practitioners who are curious about expanding their repertoires of inquiry. This workshop advances knowledge by offering accessibility, relationality, and imagination; centering process over product and provocation over prescription, inviting participants to “unforget,” reimagine, and artfully inquire into what research might become, if only we are brave enough to be.

In this workshop, participants will be invited to experiment with provocations toward staying in the present, slowing down, and moving with intention that form the foundation for artful inquiry. We define artful inquiry as simultaneously aesthetic, embodied, curious, relational, transformative, and speculative. We will reimagine how knowledge is created and shared, and will invite participants to see the process of inquiry as art itself, alive, ever-evolving and responsive. This workshop is inspired by the praxis of our work with artful inquiry and the questions we both bring to our scholarship. We lean into movements as a way to invite the doing of artful inquiry, to provide permission and possibility to move beyond the traditional and accepted. This session welcomes researchers, instructors, students, and practitioners who are curious about expanding their repertoires of inquiry. Participants will engage in individual and collective opportunities to create and explore, there are no materials necessary to join us besides a willingness to experiment and be curious.
