Over the last ten years, Poetic Inquiry (PI) has proven itself as an emergent arts-based research methodology. It has gained greater acceptance in the larger community of qualitative research due in large part to the hundreds of published studies that employ the writing or analysis of poetry as a major focus of the research process (Finley, 2003; Prendergast, Leggo & Sameshima, 2009; Prendergast & Galvin, 2012). However, despite this greater acceptance and increase in studies found in the literature, there has not been a critical contemporary exploration of the history, theory and method of PI that could lend itself to defining what the method is, for those unfamiliar with it. This article provides a summary of PI as it exists in the literature today. This includes surveying the rhizomatic history of the method, exploring debates around who should or should not use the method and conversation around the current uses of PI in qualitative research.
We've all heard the phishing attack stories that start with someone receiving an email that requests an urgent invoice review or password change and ends with a data breach in which personal information is compromised and money is lost. Although many of us may roll our eyes at the prospect of falling for such an obvious scam, we must acknowledge that if those tricks didn't work, malicious actors wouldn't keep trying. Although many of us may roll our eyes at crude phishing attacks, we must acknowledge that if those tricks didn't work, malicious actors wouldn't keep trying. While many individuals have wised up to the cruder attempts on their bank details via email, education is clearly still needed for the silent majority that are still clicking through. People continue to respond to the humble phish and would-be hackers are still profiting from it. Adam Vincent of ThreatConnect lays out some essential guidelines for how not to get caught.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
