Autobiographical theatre usually brings to the forefront personal experiences that have been hidden or silenced, while the autoethnographic approach emphasises their social dimensions.

This article investigated the multifaceted role of artists in educational programmes, focusing on the challenges they face while balancing their identity as artist-teacher, artist teacher, artist-educator, and artist educator. This research was conducted in two phases. Phase one interrogated the effectiveness of artists taking on dual roles as…

K-12 art educators choose many artworks for students to examine and discuss throughout a semester or school year. This puts teachers in the role of "choice maker" (Bolin & Hoskins, 2015, p. 40), with the power to communicate to students through the body of images shared over time. Who can be an artist? How do artists express meaning?…

Obtaining informed consent can be challenging during peer research when the boundaries between researcher and participant are blurred.

The author also wondered what…

An autoethnographic exploration of identity formation raises the question of how individuals inhabit, negotiate, accommodate and resist the social groups to which they belong, continually coming to terms with who and what they are. This paper discusses, through this researcher's autobiographical exploration, the ways in which pedagogical discourse…
