Methods that employ creative practices as a primary mode of inquiry in the social sciences, humanities, and philosophy have been gaining in popularity. These methods go beyond traditional text-based research to explore complex, embodied, and emotional aspects of human experience and social phenomena.  As well as enriching social enquiry, arts-based methods can be a catalyst for social and political change, which involves nurturing imagination, empowering marginalized voices, and fostering collective action.
