Enhancing Empathy and Understanding of Disability by Using Poetry in Research
Studies in the Education of Adults, v53 n2 p184-203 2021
Research poetry, valuable for its poignancy and creativity in analysing and presenting data, can enhance comprehension of research content, move political policy by drawing on readers' emotional connection to participants, inspire social justice activism, and increase accessibility to disability research. The field of adult education acknowledges and strives to address issues of social justice by amplifying voices that are often unheard. Using research poetry, scholars can challenge hegemony not only through research content but also through their writing format, particularly in disability research that considers society's traditionally accepted view of an ideal human body.
