'Editor Jason DeHart assembles an impressive array of contributors for this unique collection of arts-based research resources. The chapters address the spectrum of artistic modalities from poetry to music, from comics to movement, and from ethnodrama to visual art. A diverse range of scholars bring their contemporary, experiential voices to their stories, writing with insight, passion, humor, and vulnerability. Qualitative researchers from multiple disciplines will find the two-volume Arts-Based Research Across Textual/Visual Media in Education a valuable and inspirational reference for creative approaches to social inquiry.'
