Creative Arts in Research for Community and Cultural Change features illustrative articles describing the creative arts in research and practice within neighbourhoods, villages, and cities for community and cultural change. In these times of desperate need and ongoing unrest internationally, this collection—featuring leaders across disciplines—is a valuable source of information as well as a call for creative new approaches in contemporary research leading to action and change.
