Poetic Inquiry Project

social work and public health research on fatherhood engagement

Poetic inquiry is an arts-based research methodology whereby poems are written to interpret and explore qualitative research data.
In 2023, I was invited to contribute to a social work and public health research project designed to explore the impact of poetic inquiry on research and dissemination approaches.
This was a meaningful opportunity to be creative in a way that aligned with my social justice values and previous career in social work.
The poems and a project overview can be found by clicking on the presentation below.
"You wash away my past / like sidewalk chalk. Erasing everything / that might explain how I got here. / As if I arrived on the scene / in this moment. Fully-formed / with no story to tell, and no history / worth hearing." - excerpt from "Nothing Just About this System"
