Intersectionality: An Arts-Based Approach to Student Awareness offers insights into the importance of understanding contemporary diversity and inclusion while applying arts-based research and reporting, such as poetry and visual ethnography, to expand knowledge acquisition.
Intersectionality: An Arts-Based Approach to Student Awareness provides easy-to-understand principles to a better understanding of the study of full-spectrum diversity and inclusion as well as examples of arts-based research and reporting that can further enhance the mélange of STEM and the arts research (STEAM), in which there is a growing interest among academics and the general public.
This edition can be a valuable addition to the working library and a reference for educators and/or learners who are engaged in and/or interested in qualitative, quantitative, mixed methods research. Individuals who are aficionados of the arts can also learn more about the expressions of feelings of sample learners and how they make meaning of arts-based research and reporting as well for general interest.
An apt inclusion in course curricula for face-to-face and online courses in Communication, Sociology, Psychology, Humanities, and other behavioral sciences, the arts, and research methods and theory courses. Intersectionality: An Arts-Based Approach to Student Awareness may be utilized as a stand-alone text, as a supplement to the primary coursework, or as a general interest offering.
