Teaching Artist as Ethical Researcher
摘要
This chapter considers ethics in the context of research projects involving arts and creativity, with a particular focus on the significant role of the Teaching Artist. This includes an exploration of participation, reflexivity and ethical encounters specific to research-based theatre. It draws on a rich history of approaches to ethical social sciences research, such as Arnstein’s Ladder of Citizen Participation (1969), connecting such frameworks to the unique challenges of arts-based inquiry. It also offers a provocation that the inherent hybridity of the Teaching Artist, and the Teaching Artist’s ability to tolerate ambiguity and pose open-ended questions, can be reconceived of as a strength in conducting ethical research.
