This book offers reflections from Arts-Based Educational Research (ABER) scholars who, since 2005, were awarded the American Educational Research Association ABER Special Interest Group's Outstanding Dissertation Award. The book includes essays from ten awardees who, across diverse artistic disciplines, share how their ABER careers evolve and succeed—inspiring insights into the possibilities of ABER. It also examines the essential role of mentorship in the academy that supports and expands ABER scholarship. Drawing from dissertation exemplars in the field, this book allows readers to look at how ABER scholars learn with the world while creatively researching and teaching in innovative ways “This text is remarkable for the immense diversity of situating creativity as inquiry in educational research from multiple cultural, theoretical, and substantive perspectives. The scholars in this text demonstrate the interdisciplinary understanding and enactment of Arts-Based Educational Research, thus allowing the work to exceed the boundaries of education in generative ways. This text is also a pedagogical text that can be used to teach multiple graduate-level classes within education and beyond. Most importantly, this text creates a fertile ground for cognitive, affective, and spiritual shifts that are transformative, offering the reader possibilities for inquiry that exceed traditional expectations.” — Kakali Bhattacharya, Professor. Qualitative Research Program. Research, Evaluation, Measurement. College of Education, University of Florida “Arts-Based Educational Research Trajectories provides a historically-situated, intergenerational account of ABER, calling attention to how it has – over the last 30 years – forged its space in the academy and among researchers. The essays highlight the art, creativity, and scholarship of ABER as contributors engage storytelling, textual and visual inquiry and reflect on their ABER journeys. ABER Trajectories is the book I needed as a budding ABER scholar, and I am overjoyed to know it is in the world now, further cementing the legitimacy already known to and felt by the scholars who embrace it!” — Qiana Cutts, PhD, Mississippi State University. Arts- Based Educational Research Chair, 2021-2023.

At the heart of all good art museum teaching is an effort to bring people and artworks together in meaningful ways. But what constitutes an experience of a work of art? What should be taught and why? What kinds of uniquely valuable experiences are museum educators alone equipped to provide? This book?unlike any other publication currently available?addresses these and myriad other questions and investigates the mission, history, theory, practice, and future prospects of museum education. Every critical issue that has preoccupied the profession throughout its hundred-year history is considered, including lecture- versus conversation-based formats; the place of information in gallery teaching; the relation of art museum teaching to the disciplines of art history, curation, and conservation; the use of questions to stimulate discussion; and the role of playfulness, self-awareness, and institutional context in constructing the visitor?s experience.The book will prove invaluable for all professional museum educators and volunteer docents as well as museum studies students, art and art history teachers, curators, and museum administrators. The essays distill the authors? decades of experience as practitioners and observers of gallery teaching across the United States and abroad. They offer a range of perspectives on which everyone involved with art museum education may reflect and in so doing, encourage education to take its proper place at the center of the twenty-first century art museum.

This open access book discusses the functionality of the use of the language of photography in teachers' initial and ongoing training. It analyzes the nature of photography as a representation system, facilitating inquiry and reflection on its practice for teachers and evocating on theories and beliefs that may guide their work in classrooms. Photography is used to represent symbolically and affectively possible contradictions in teaching activities or the inconsistencies between planned teaching tasks and the educational purposes pursued. Resolving these conflicts is one of the ways to promote professional development. This book also describes photo-elicitation and photographic storytelling as work procedures. By analyzing the contributions of these techniques, the development of teachers is improved.

This book examines the role of the visual and performing arts in higher education and argues for the importance of socially engaged transdisciplinary practices, not just to the college curriculum but also to building an informed and engaged citizenry. The first chapter defines and offers an outline for conducting transdisciplinary research. Chapters two through five present examples of transdisciplinary projects facilitated in Central Florida between 2017 and 2022. Topics and methodological frameworks include ecocriticism and climate change, migration, poverty, and displacement, ageing and disability, and systemic racism and mass incarceration. Each chapter includes descriptions of the projects and outlines how they integrated the essential learning outcomes articulated by the American Association of Colleges and Universities in the Liberal Education and America’s Promise report. A concluding chapter offers reflections on the value of transdisciplinary collaborative work and poses questions for further discussions on the role of the arts in higher education. The book is designed for graduate and undergraduate students, faculty, and non-academics interested in engaging in transdisciplinary projects to address complex societal issues. Julia Listengarten, Pegasus Professor of Theatre and Artistic Director of the School of Performing Arts, University of Central Florida, USA Keri Watson, Associate Professor of Art History and Director of the Florida Prison Education Project, University of Central Florida, USA.
