This dissertation discusses how engaging in arts-based identity exploration activities can help traditional-age undergraduates (ages 18-24) develop increased self-awareness and cultural sensitivity. The dissertation first explores the participatory inquiry paradigm and the roles of artistic/creative expression in holistic knowledge creation and transformative learning. It then provides an overview of the field of arts-based inquiry and its wide variety of approaches. The following chapters discuss traditional-age undergraduate identity development and how arts-based identity exploration activities can be used in undergraduate multicultural social justice courses to foster self-awareness and cultural sensitivity. Chapter 8 discusses the author's Spring 2016 in-class research at The Ohio State University, in which 50 students from a wide variety of majors engaged in various arts-based identity exploration activities. It was conducted within two sections of the general education course "Visual Culture: Investigating Diversity and Social Justice."

"Identities undergo a series of influences, shifts, and dialogic constructions; this is especially true throughout adolescence and in relation to political and social situations within communities. A review of identity development literature coupled with research on multimodal creative expression reveals the ways in which identity is constructed and influenced by competent actors in our lives. As such, Hull and Katz (2006) suggest that "we enact the selves we want to become in relation to others - sometimes in concert with them, sometimes in opposition to them, but always in relation to them" (p. 47). Our sense of self and identity is informed and tempered by social, cultural, and historical contexts that we engage with and contribute to with others. This research incorporates the perspectives of both teachers and students as they are engaging in a dialogic exchange of identity expression in the visual arts, as well as engaging in teacher-to-student and student-to-teacher relationships that can foster trust and confidence during a time of adolescent identity exploration and establishment. Grounded in the theoretical foundations and approaches of the Dialogic Self Theory, Aesthetic Education Theory, and Critical Aesthetic Pedagogy, the arts-informed qualitative, phenomenological study seeks to understand the dialogic construction of identity through the visual arts at EHS"--Page xiii

In western societies, the persona of the artist has largely been associated with prevailing myths of the creative individual including the artist as genius and outsider. In my inquiry I endeavored to understand what it means to be an artist from the perspective of budding “creatives”. In this study I explored the process of becoming an artist that is how college students construct and navigate an artistic self (selves), and the factors that influenced this process. My purpose in this multiple text narrative inquiry was to discover how undergraduate art majors construct and navigate their artistic identity/identities, particularly while engaged in an artistic undergraduate research (UR) experience. I selected to explore students engaged in an undergraduate research project as a way to understand the process of artistic becoming within a unique educational practice, and to determine the role of creativity within this process.

This thesis presents the epistemological context, plan and implementation of a study employing a variety of art projects aimed at facilitating arts-oriented inquiries into identity for classes of multicultural and multilingual pre-teenagers. Furthermore, this thesis presents a parallel process of identity exploration on the part of the author of this work, a teacher-researcher engaging in similar forms of arts-oriented inquiry through the fashioning of "creative interludes." Grounding the work in theories of identity development, and theories of the stages of development of visual arts skills and capacities in elementary school age students, the author aimed to explore the possibilities of discovery and affirmation of identity in these students through the lenses of a/r/tography, creative dynamic, and self-portraiture. After first framing the work in terms of important ethical considerations related to the setting of the research, the author presents the creative projects that were made by these pre-teenagers. The artworks become mirrors of their makers and provide numerous opportunities for educators to see traces of the childrens' identity explorations in their art. Finally, the author explores her own identity development as an artist, a teacher, a researcher, and a woman, along with how these different identities symbiotically influence each other.

This book is an exploration of the concept of in-betweenness, as it occurs within the process of moving between the author’s root culture and adopted culture, from her perspective as an immigrant creative arts therapist. Through the critical autoethnographic voice and a/r/tographic inquiry, she introduces a unique exploration site within the process of Guqin-making, an ancient Chinese art form. Through the creation of images and poetry, and through Guqin-making and music-making/playing, the book expands the discussion of in-betweenness by re-theorising ancient Chinese philosophical perspectives on harmonic space. This contribution to arts-based research provides a unique standpoint to explore research methods of moving, walking, making, resting and awakening. It showcases how other researchers can transfer the invisible and intangible embodied feelings, memories and emotions arising from moving between two or more cultures into visible and tangible images, narrative, poetry, craft and music-playing to conduct powerful, interdisciplinary arts-based research.
