Embodied learning for wicked problems and societal transitions: Perspectives from transdisciplinary higher education practitioners
Higher education plays a crucial role in supporting societal transitions towards more sustainable and equitable futures. As universities evolve to prepare learners to tackle wicked problems and lead long-term systems change, embodied teaching and learning approaches are gaining attention for their ability to integrate felt experiences with analytical thought, fostering boundary-spanning thinking. While the value of embodied approaches in learning…
Working in (and between) art and health: Challenges and missteps
Art can have a positive impact on health and well-being and be efficacious in health research and dissemination processes. However, creative, arts-based approaches to research and knowledge translation sometimes have a precarious toehold in the spheres of both health and art. In this paper, we report on failures, misunderstandings, difficulties and ethical tensions associated with work undertaken in, and between, art and health. Using collaborati…
Thinking and Caring With Arts-Based Research: An Assemblage of Methods to Promote Public Health
What do we learn when we invite others to make and create? How can drawing, cutting and pasting, repurposing objects, and photography enable us to explore complex, or hard-to-talk about experiences? What do we miss when we ask only with words, and not with action? This article explores these questions, demonstrating how to enact different arts-based research methods in practices of inquiry to open the process of thought and care in research relat…
A sad tree: Visualising Ecological Emotions Through Bodies in Place
In this time of climate and ecological crisis, we engaged with young people and their families to articulate feelings in and about the natural world. Our research question: how might the arts-based method of body mapping enable families to explore ecological emotions together? By drawing, collaging, and placing found objects from the local environment, families' body maps evoked complex relationships to each other and the more-than-human. Here, w…
Enhancing city resilience through theatre
While change is to be expected, current trends such as the climate crisis, rising resource scarcity and increasingly volatile international economic systems have the potential to move our global society into new system states. Additionally, the scale of impact is expected to become more pronounced as urban and regional areas continue to grow. Because of this, there are growing movements which aim to increase resilience in our cities. This article…

Coalescing, Cross-Pollinating, Crystalising: Developing and Evaluating an Art Installation About Health Knowledge
The HIVE is an arts-based knowledge translation (ABKT) project that showcases work undertaken across Maridulu Budyari Gumal: the Sydney Partnership for Health, Education, Research and Enterprise (SPHERE). Here, we present two distinct forms of data (reflective and evaluative) to tell the story of The HIVE and outline the project's achievements and shortcomings. Reflective data are used to describe the process of establishing a creative, cross-dis…
