This article introduces narrative inquiry and arts-based research methods and provides a discussion of the applicability of these methods for exploring the marginalized, controversial, and disruptive perspectives that have often been lost in more traditional research methodologies. Narrative and arts-based approaches to research offer the possibility of disruption to the dominant discourses within theory and research. In addition, they also provide an avenue toward reconciliation. The authors explore how these two research approaches can be used. Philosophical groundwork for their application to the work of conflict resolution and practices of reconciliation is offered
