    Arts-informed research
    (Sage Publications, 2008) Cole, Ardra; Knowles, J. Gary
    Excerpt from chapter: "The transformative potential of artsinformed research speaks to the need for researchers to develop representations that address audiences in ways that do not pacify or indulge the senses but arouse them and the intellect to new heights of response and action. In essence, and ideally, the educative possibilities of arts-informed work are foremost in the heart, soul, and mind of the researcher from the onset of an inquiry"

    Installation Art-As-Research
    (Sage Publications, 2008) Cole, Ardra; McIntyre, Maura
    Excerpt from chapter: "Join us in a look at installation art as one of the many art forms that has found its way into social science research as a methodological challenge to modernist perspectives on knowledge and knowing. Our chapter is a virtual tour of several research installations including our own. Through our experiential rendering of this art form, we consider how our work and the work of other installation artist-researchers advances knowledge in unique ways, paying particular attention to the qualities of accessibility, inclusion, audience engagement, and sociopolitical commitment. During the journey we explore some issues and challenges peculiar to installation art-as-research. We also make particular reference to the role of installation art as articulated by a number of contemporary artists whose work reflects intentions and “attitude” that echo some of the qualities of installation art-as-research."

    Money Worries: Tackling the Challenges of Funding Arts-Related Research
    (Sage Publications, 2008) Cole, Ardra; Gray, Ross
    Excerpt from Chapter: "No handbook on research methodologies would be complete without at least a nod to money matters. But because the “starving artist” phenomenon is just as apt a description of researchers who variously incorporate the arts into their work, we did not see ourselves writing a guide to successful procurement of pots of money; nor did we imagine writing an issues-based essay on the “whys,” “wherefores,” and “whethers” of seeking funding for alternative genre research.1 Rather, we were more interested in getting a sense of the overall funding picture in the small but growing international community of artist-researchers."
