Upcoming event
We hope you will join our inclusive, friendly, and collaborative ABER SIG forum to tell us all about your Arts Based Educational Research work. We encourage you to share your current arts-based research and practice in small break out groups, within an open dialogue between SIG members. All types of ABER are encouraged and contributions may be on narrative, poetic inquiry, autobiography, music, performance, dance and drama and more. This event intends to strengthen our SIG community.
We also encourage members of the ABER SIG contribute ideas and resources to a ‘Padlet’ before the meeting. This will enhance communication of ideas, research and good practice.
