Join us for an open workshop/discussion with Dr. Sarah de Leeuw (University of Northern British Columbia) on creative and arts-based research methods.
In late January, De Leeuw will visit IUR on the invitation of the Urban Humanities theme. As part of the visit, de Leeuw will do an informal workshop/discussion on the possibilities of creative and arts-based methods when researching inequality, marginalisation, racism, and other adjacent topics. Everyone is welcome to join the workshop. The visit is part of IUR’s Urban Humanities theme. If you plan on attending, or if you have any questions, please write to Adam Lundberg (adam.lundberg@mau.se).
Sarah de Leeuw is a cultural geographer, poet, and professor at the University of Northern British Columbia in Canada, where she is the Research Director of the Health Arts Research Centre, and the Canada Research Chair in Humanities and Health Inequities. Her work lies at the crossroads of social-cultural geography, health-humanities, social determinants of health, and anti-colonial methodologies, focusing on the geographies of marginalized and indigenous people in a health humanities context. Or, in her own words: “why some peoples and communities have better lives than others, why other peoples and communities live with burdens of poverty, isolation, violence, discrimination, racism, sexism, or poor health.” More info about her can be found here.
