Poetry In Teaching & Learning Qualitative Research, Amber Mullens, Audra Skukauskaite, Megan K. Mitchell Jun 2024

Poetry In Teaching & Learning Qualitative Research, Amber Mullens, Audra Skukauskaite, Megan K. Mitchell

The Qualitative Report

This article stems from a workshop presented at the 15th TQR conference on poetry in teaching and learning qualitative research. Over the last few decades, scholars have argued for the use of poetry and other arts-based techniques in qualitative research. Most of the research, however, focuses on using poetry for data analysis and representation. In this article, we shift the conversation to the use of poetry for teaching and learning qualitative research. Starting with a poem in three voices of educator, student, and researcher, we provide an overview of poetry use in qualitative inquiry. We then offer brief overviews of …

How Do We Craft Autoethnography? A Modest Review, Niroj Dahal Apr 2024

How Do We Craft Autoethnography? A Modest Review, Niroj Dahal

The Qualitative Report

I am writing this review as an essential reading for readers and writers of the book—Crafting Autoethnography: Processes and Practices of Making Self and Culture, edited by Jackie Goode, Karen Lumsden, and Jan Bradford, which explores the art of crafting autoethnography (Goode et al., 2023). As a novice autoethnographer, I have grappled with challenges and explored borders while shaping my narrative as a self-narrator of autoethnographic writing. So, in this review, I have attempted to engage readers by offering the invitation, encouraging initial reading as entry to the book, subsequent re-entry, and eventual exit as my evaluation of the …


Poetic Representations Of Covid-19 Narratives: An Exploration Of Emotional Experiences During The Pandemic, Isha Harshe, Lindy Davidson Dec 2023

Poetic Representations Of Covid-19 Narratives: An Exploration Of Emotional Experiences During The Pandemic, Isha Harshe, Lindy Davidson

The Qualitative Report

In pivotal moments of history like the COVID-19 pandemic, it is critical to attend to and preserve the stories of different people experiencing the same phenomenon in their own ways. This project analyzed the public’s emotional experiences during the pandemic using methods of narrative and poetic inquiry. After reading 105 entries from the Pandemic Journaling Project, an online platform where people anonymously published journal entries reflecting on their pandemic experiences, narratives were categorized based on ten prominent emotional themes: anger, anxiety, fatigue, fear, loneliness, longing, loss, loss of control, stress, and uncertainty. Found poems were constructed for each emotion …


Reflecting On Academic Freedom Through Fiction: A Theatrical Exploration Of The Blurry Contours Of The Freedom To Teach, Julie Paquin, Maude Choko Nov 2023

Reflecting On Academic Freedom Through Fiction: A Theatrical Exploration Of The Blurry Contours Of The Freedom To Teach, Julie Paquin, Maude Choko

The Qualitative Report

This article aims at exploring the contribution that creative forms of research can make to the study of a little-known aspect of academic freedom in the Canadian context – academic freedom in curriculum development. It seeks to address the methodological challenge posed by research on academic freedom, that is, the fact that any academic writing on this topic necessarily draws initially, though not exclusively, from the researchers’ own experiences and perspectives. The article brings to life a fictional faculty meeting, during which questions about academic freedom in teaching are discussed. Although this meeting is the product of our imagination, its …

The Wonderful World Of Xtc, Pranav R. Police, Xtc 1993 Apr 2023

The Wonderful World Of Xtc, Pranav R. Police, Xtc 1993

Digressions: Literary & Art Journal

"My piece is a collection of beats that display my diverse production techniques and genres. This piece contains some of my early creations that I revisited to match my current style of production. The piece exemplifies my unique drum patterns and melodies as well as precise mixing quality. 'The Wonderful World of XTC' represents my early and disparate work, later serving as the foundation for my subsequent creations."


Untitled, Elisha Mendoza Apr 2023

Untitled, Elisha Mendoza

Digressions: Literary & Art Journal

"This piece was one of the photographs I took for my photography final. My final was divided into three themes, one of which is called 'Lost.' The yarn is supposed to represent one being stuck and tangled in a dark place and period in their life, hence the black background."


Burn & Ashes, Maya S. Leshaw Apr 2023

Burn & Ashes, Maya S. Leshaw

Digressions: Literary & Art Journal

"Many of my paintings are me challenging myself with different mediums. Much like my other paintings, this piece focused on trying something I hadn't seen before. In many ways, the process was both trial and error. This painting, 'Burn & Ashes,' was an experiment. It focused on breaking the boundaries of fire and paper."


Cutting Ties, Jenna M. Handal Miss Apr 2023

Cutting Ties, Jenna M. Handal Miss

Digressions: Literary & Art Journal

"'Cutting Ties' is about escaping the feelings of comfort and security cultivated in an unhealthy situation. Being held captive by this dark place, some grow accustomed to the suffering and prefer to stay 'in the woods.' The challenge is finding the voice and the means in oneself to fight the battle for mental freedom."


In A Nutshell, Marieann C. Raguso Apr 2023

In A Nutshell, Marieann C. Raguso

Digressions: Literary & Art Journal

"As a woman veteran who was exposed to combat, death, violence, sexual assault, and other traumas during my time in service and after service with the VA, I felt I had something to say but had no idea where to begin. Upon attending college, I began to take poetry courses and fell in love with the art form. Not only that, but poetry allows me to be resilient against these traumatic, sometimes intrusive stressors and functions as a positive coping mechanism. So when I write, I write with my emotional intensity and always in my distinct voice."


Divinity, Aysia Stephens Apr 2023

Divinity, Aysia Stephens

Digressions: Literary & Art Journal

"I often hear of growing youth losing faith in religion due to how it was traumatically shown to them growing up, whether the adults realized it or not. I wanted to write a piece showing that despite the honest intentions, words and actions are shown differently through a child's eye."


Fort Lauderdale Nights, Shweta Shah Apr 2023

Fort Lauderdale Nights, Shweta Shah

Digressions: Literary & Art Journal

"This photograph was inspired by a night on the beach and seeing the beautiful city light up. There was a unique sensation brought by hearing the peaceful waves crash on side and the busy city on the other. It represents a certain dynamic of my life, in between the hustle and peace. Finding beauty in this is a reminder to find beauty in middle of life’s chaos and calm."


Terracotta Dreams, Fidel E. Perez Pujols Apr 2023

Terracotta Dreams, Fidel E. Perez Pujols

Digressions: Literary & Art Journal

"In my art, I like to capture moments in time when I feel an overwhelming sense of a particular emotion. Different shapes and colors allow me to express these ideas."


Man With No Face, Maya S. Lehsaw Apr 2023

Man With No Face, Maya S. Lehsaw

Digressions: Literary & Art Journal

"Like many of my portraits, this painting combines abstract and detailed elements. As you look through this piece, I've included many characters. If you look deep enough, you can see them all. This piece, like many, focuses on the hidden messages in life that are not always seen at first glance. So much of my art allows for interpretation and for every viewer to determine what they think the meaning is."


Self Portrait, Maya S. Leshaw Apr 2023

Self Portrait, Maya S. Leshaw

Digressions: Literary & Art Journal

"This piece was my final project for Painting I. Francis Bacon's work heavily inspired this piece. His work often reflected on human emotions and feelings and how humans endure such agony. My painting was much like his self-portraits; I wanted to paint the many feelings I always had. Whether it's the black ( the lows), the blues (the calm moments of serenity), the red (love or pain), or the yellow (the vast moments of happiness)s an experiment. It focused on breaking the boundaries of fire and paper."


A Journey To Joy, Bhavya Soni Apr 2023

A Journey To Joy, Bhavya Soni

Digressions: Literary & Art Journal

"In the past, inspiration for me usually struck after the occurrence of an obstacle or tragedy. I used my poetry to vent and organize my chaotic emotions into words on paper. But along with the lessons I gained from the adverse events, the negativity from the experience was also memorialized in the poems I wrote. 'A Journey to Joy' was the result of a realization I had while reading The Book of Joy by the Dalai Lama, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, and Douglas Carlton Abrams: remembering the joy and happiness in life is just as important as learning from adversity."
