More than other research methods, ethnodramatic investigation involves multiple subject positions, as interviewees, interviewers, a/r/tographers, actors, audiences, and readers engage with the investigation. In this workshop, we will make sense of this complexity by drawing on Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit.

Hegel demanded that knowledge integrate perspectives of all participants, refusing to privilege subject over object. We will apply several of the frameworks he developed to materials from Charles Vanover and Andrew Babson's ethnodrama Goodbye to All That!

Workshop participants will leave the session with new perspectives to apply to qualitative inquiry, as well as a deeper understanding of arts-based research practice.
