4 Navigating ethical territories in poetic inquiry
-
Abstract
This chapter addresses the ethical aspects of poetic inquiry, focusing on power, decolonisation and critical reflexivity. It includes exercises to develop reflexivity, thus enhancing the ethical rigour of research. The discussion extends to inclusive representation, visibility of power structures and the use of poetic inquiry for social justice. Traditional mappings of knowledge are challenged and a revaluation of whose experiences are highlighted is encouraged, promoting a deeper exploration of identity through poetry.
