Episode 3_Exploring Arts-Based Research: Dr. Patricia Leavy on Creativity, Accessibility, and Social Change
In this episode, Dr. Patricia Leavy discusses her pioneering work in arts-based research methods. She explains how her lifelong passion for the arts led her to develop innovative approaches like using fiction and poetry to represent research findings in more accessible and engaging ways. Dr. Leavy argues that traditional academic publishing reaches very few people, and that the arts can help communicate important ideas to broader audiences. She believes interdisciplinary collaboration is essential for addressing complex societal issues. While arts-based research still faces some skepticism and barriers in academia, Patricia sees growing acceptance and argues that all research methods have their strengths and limitations. Ultimately, she believes scholars have an obligation to share their work in ways that can make a real-world impact.
