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).  \nCP uses poetry\, visual arts and other art forms\, alongsid
 e established social scientific research methods\, to explore and communic
 ate individuals’ lived experiences.  In CP\, artists\, community practit
 ioners\, academics and community groups work together as a ‘research col
 lective\,’ in which all members are equally valued for their diverse ski
 lls and knowledge.  The collective collaborates to foster ‘critical resi
 lience\,’ supporting the resilience of individuals and communities as a 
 path towards\, rather than alternative to\, critical social consciousness 
 and social change.  \nThe session will briefly introduce the CP method and
  showcase some creative texts\, before facilitating a series of creative a
 ctivities drawn from the pack.  For further information about the method\,
  supporting research and CP resources\, see the website of the Collaborati
 ve Poetics Network: http://blogs.brighton.ac.uk/collaborativepoetics/event
 s/  Copies of the pack will also be available on the day.\n\nHelen Johnson
  is a senior Psychology lecturer at the University of Brighton. Her work c
 entres around creativity and the arts\, with research focusing on areas su
 ch as spoken word and slam communities\, and arts interventions in health\
 , education and dementia care. Helen is particularly interested in the int
 ersections between arts-based research\, participatory research and social
  justice\, and has developed the collaborative poetics method framed by th
 ese concerns.  She is also a spoken word poet and stage manager for the Po
 etry&Words stage at Glastonbury Festival.\n
