To this end, students will produce their own original qualitative research papers that incorporate the basic elements of qualitative research reports and best practices for communicating their methodological choices and research findings in transparent and coherent prose. Students will also learn how to evaluate the quality of their compositions and revise their drafts via the use of rubrics and manuscript checklists.

QRGP 6309 - Arts-Based Qualitative Research This course presents various ways in which to incorporate arts-based strategies into qualitative research design, in order to generate additional data, address researcher bias, deepen qualitative analysis, and enhance the presentation of research findings.

The course will also address how poetry can be used as a technique to both validate and represent research findings; students will practice found data poetry in developing findings, and the use of various poetic forms to convey key findings. In addition, students will be introduced to photo voice, a method that involves study participants taking photos to capture their lived experience and understandings of particular social phenomena. Throughout the course, ethical issues related to arts- based qualitative research will be considered and discussed. Offered occasionally.
