Poetic Inquiry for the Social and Human Sciences : Voices from the South and North

Poetic inquiry, or poetic research, is a literary and performance arts–based approach that combines arts and humanities with scientific inquiry to enhance social research.

This groundbreaking collection shows how using poetry from diverse traditions in the Global South can promote innovative research on pressing social justice issues such as inclusion and decolonization.

To that end, each chapter is complemented by an original poetry sequence interwoven throughout the book.
