Series: Studies in Curriculum Theory Series

Highlighting Rita L. Irwin’s significant work in the fields of curriculum studies and arts education, this collection honors her well-known contribution of a/r/tography to curriculum studies in the form of arts based educational research and, beyond this, her contributions towards understanding the inseparability of making, knowing, and being. Together the chapters document an important beginning, as well as an ongoing transitional time in which curriculum understood as aesthetic text is awakening to the ways in which art practices stimulate a social awareness at the level of other embodied practices. Organized in three themes, gathering, transforming, and becoming, this volume brings together a selection of Irwin’s single and co-authored essays to offer a variety of rich perspectives to scholars and students in the field of education who are interested in the ways in which arts-based research allows the possibilities of bringing together the artistic, pedagogical, and scholarly selves of an educator.

A tremendous contribution to the field of education. The editors have done a wonderful job of collecting Rita Irwin's important essays and art-works in one volume. This book will be an essential read for students and scholars working in the areas of arts education, teacher education, and curriculum studies. Ashwani Kumar, Mount Saint Vincent University, Canada This is a long overdue and much anticipated collection that solidifies the incredible aesthetic contributions, efforts, and mentorship Irwin has dedicated her life to-locally, nationally, and globally. The ripples of Irwin's 'artful life' are boundless. Pauline Sameshima, Lakehead University, Canada
