CCRI Seminar: Embodied Inquiry - Dance, Poetry, and Creative Methods in Applied Health Research In this seminar, Dr. Celina Carter will discuss her triumphs and obstacles to integrating arts-based research into her larger program of research on dying, death, and grief. She will begin by exploring her graduate student work where she engaged in “dancing the data” as a generative analytic tool that surfaced new insights and captured the living of an experience. She will then discuss the constrains she feels within research cultures with pressures to “speed up” and produce "straight forward" data and how she's found ways to use poetry, storytelling, and metaphor to explore phenomena such as grief, burnout, and distress as low-cost, accessible arts-based methods that can be integrated into applied pragmatic research. Speaker Bio: Dr. Celina Carter is a nurse scholar, life-long dancer, meditator, and aspiring poet with 13 years of experience conducting qualitative, arts-informed, and mixed-methods research to advance equity-focused health and social care in Canada with a focus on dying, death, and grief. She has a PhD in Public Health - Social and Behavioural Health Sciences from the University of Toronto and is currently a Research Scientist at a research centre embedded in one of Canada's largest not for profit health care organizations, is an Instructor at the University of Toronto where she teaches the Mindfulness-informed End of Life certificate, and has a private nurse psychotherapy practice.
