DESCRIPTION:This workshop marks the launch of the Collaborative Poetics Re
 source Pack\, a comprehensive teaching pack designed to support the facili
 tation of the participatory arts-based research method of collaborative po
 etics (CP). \n \nCP uses poetry\, visual arts and other art forms\, alongs
 ide established social scientific research methods\, to explore and commun
 icate individuals’ lived experiences.  In CP\, artists\, community pract
 itioners\, academics and community groups work together as a ‘research c
 ollective\,’ in which all members are equally valued for their diverse s
 kills and knowledge.  The collective collaborates to foster ‘critical re
 silience\,’ supporting the resilience of individuals and communities as 
 a path towards\, rather than alternative to\, critical social consciousnes
 s and social change.  \n\nThe session will briefly introduce the CP method
  and showcase some creative texts\, before facilitating a series of creati
 ve activities drawn from the pack.  For further information about the meth
 od\, supporting research and CP resources\, see the website of the Collabo
 rative Poetics Network: http://blogs.brighton.ac.uk/collaborativepoetics/e
 vents/  Copies of the pack will also be available on the day.e to the expe
 rience of the thesis as a work of art in itself.\n\n*Helen Johnson* is a s
 enior Psychology lecturer at the University of Brighton. Her work centres 
 around creativity and the arts\, with research focusing on areas such as s
 poken word and slam communities\, and arts interventions in health\, educa
 tion and dementia care. Helen is particularly interested in the intersecti
 ons between arts-based research\, participatory research and social justic
 e\, and has developed the collaborative poetics method framed by these con
 cerns.  She is also a spoken word poet and stage manager for the Poetry&Wo
 rds stage at Glastonbury Festival.\n\n*"Click here to RSVP":http://collabo
