Embracing the Mosaic: Crafting Collaborative Arts-based Research for Critical Resilience
University of Cambridge, 18th June 2018
In this presentation, Helen Johnson drew on examples from her previous research using collaborative and arts-based research methods and on reflection from her own personal journey to tell the story of collaborative poetics; its roots, shoots, ideology and methods. In the process, she speaks to the concept of ‘critical resilience,’ which emphasises the need to balance the nurturing of individual resilience with a social justice model, which challenges the conditions that create a need for such resilience in the first place.
