Readings and Resources
Because the genre of arts-informed research moves beyond the borders of conventional social science research methodologies and reaches out to various art forms, it is difficult, if not impossible, to put together a comprehensive reading list. The possibilities for accessing informative, inspirational, and relevant material are almost limitless.
So, the following list of reading materials is intended to serve as a starting point for explorations of arts-informed research. The list is divided into sections: required readings for everyone, recommended readings, and genre-specific references for independent study. In some areas there is considerably more published scholarly material available than in other areas. This is reflected in the reading lists. Part of the in-depth study of particular art forms will involve searching for additional material in the area. Please feel free to contribute to this list which will be updated on the website.

So, the following list of reading materials is intended to serve as a starting point for explorations of arts-informed research. The list is divided into sections: required readings for everyone, recommended readings, and genre-specific references for independent study. In some areas there is considerably more published scholarly material available than in other areas. This is reflected in the reading lists. Part of the in-depth study of particular art forms will involve searching for additional material in the area. Please feel free to contribute to this list which will be updated on the website.
