Reviews
An immediate classic! Authored by the two scholars who have established arts-based inquiry as an important form of inquiry, this new book is foundational to the field. It is based on decades of cutting-edge work by Eisner and Barone who have developed the approach of arts based research to its current status of an acclaimed, richly generative methodology, with a compelling presence in major research conferences and journals. The book deals with such issues as what is (and what is not) arts based research; why do arts based research; who can do arts based research; who the audience can be; how arts based research may be both political and ethical; criteria for assessing arts based research; and the place for theory in arts-based research. The book we have been waiting for years. Beautifully and carefully written, it is a genuine tour de force. ~ Liora Bresler, University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana -- Liora Bresler Eisner and Barone provide a formal explication for arts based research that is both timely and overdue. Their book does an exceptional job of describing the growth of arts based research in the social sciences and education. This work not only encourages researchers to think in new and fresh ways about their work, but it also serves as a primary text to introduce the underlying philosophy and potential contributions of arts based research to a range of professional fields. By cogently arguing for the use of aesthetic forms, Eisner and Barone challenge conventional notions of research. Their book inspires as well as informs. -- David Flinders The book, written by the two most preeminent scholars in arts based research, is rich with examples of arts based research as well as with analyses of those examples. In this way, Barone and Eisner show rather than tell why those particular studies are important, how they are arts based research and the reasons the researchers engaged in their studies. For beginning scholars, the interwoven theories, purposes and rich examples will help them respond to similar questions about their own arts based research. -- Dr. Jean Clandinin
This wonderful book skillfully weaves together responses to the necessarily troubling questions of what is arts based research, is it research, and why do arts based research. Barone and Eisner's responses open new understandings for this emerging way of engaging in research, a way that I, and the authors, feel might offer ways forward, ways that will not keep us caught in the dominant stories of how we educate teachers, youth, children and families. As the authors so powerfully state, Arts based research does not yield propositional claims about states of affairs. It tries to create insight into states of affairs!We need to touch the souls of students as well as to measure their sleeve length or hat size. (pps. 3-4) The book, written by the two most preeminent scholars in arts based research, is rich with examples of arts based research as well as with analyses of those examples.

For beginning scholars, the interwoven theories, purposes and rich examples will help them respond to similar questions about their own arts based research. Barone and Eisner point out the importance of creating uncertainty and surprise for readers of arts based research in order to enable readers to revisit the world from a different direction, seeing it through fresh eyes, and thereby calling into question a singular, orthodox point of view. (p. 16) This is indeed something that is sorely needed in our current educational situations.

Author Information
Tom Barone received his doctorate from Stanford University in 1978. Barone currently teaches courses in curriculum studies and qualitative research methods as Professor of Education in the Arizona State University Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College, in Tempe, AZ. His books, articles, and professional presentations reveal an interest in curriculum as aesthetic, political, and institutional text. Throughout his career, Barone has explored, conceptually and through examples, a variety of narrative and arts-based approaches to contextualizing and theorizing about significant educational issues. Elliot W. Eisner is professor emeritus of education and art at Stanford University. He has taught at Stanford since 1965 where he is best known for his scholarship in three fields: arts education, curriculum studies, and educational evaluation. His research interests focus on the development of aesthetic intelligence and the use of critical methods from the arts in studying and improving educational practice. Dr. Eisner has lectured throughout the world and has published more than 17 books, including The Enlightened Eye: Qualitative Inquiry and the Enhancement of Educational Practice, which explores the uses of critical methods from the arts in studying and describing schools, classrooms, and teaching processes. Dr. Eisner is the recipient of numerous awards for his work, including the 2005 Grawemeyer Award, the Palmer O. Johnson Memorial Award from the American Educational Research Association, a John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship, and a Fulbright Fellowship. Professor Eisner has served as president of the American Educational Research Association, the National Art Education Association, and the International Society for Education through Art, and the Jogn Dewey Society.
