The Arts Based Research Network (ABR) at Acadia team would like to invite you to our final Monday evening Speakers' Series. Next Monday, April 8 at 7:00 pm in the Reading Room at the Vaughan Memorial Library, Dr. Deborah Day will be our guest speaker. Please join us for an inspiring evening and our last Speakers' Series Encounter until the next academic year!
Deborah Day is a faculty member with the graduate program in counselling at Acadia University. She is not an arts-based researcher but, rather, considers herself an "arts-attuned" educator and counsellor. Her scholarship takes up personal development in higher education and in professional careers. Questions of identity are central in the development of professionals and nowhere more so than in counselling, where her teaching is situated. Exploration of her own relationship with the arts assists her to consider identity in grounded ways; to experience vulnerability associated with exposing aspects of identity; to experience and re-experience what it is to be a beginner; to take risks, and to decide when something is "good enough." These ideas will be explored both through examples of her own arts-attuned projects and in assignments developed for courses she teaches.
Hope to see you there!
