Drawing on posthuman theories and intra-active relationships, it describes how performative arts-based writing can provide a way to engage with the human and nonhuman, the embodied, sensory elements of our writerly worlds. Employing a critical collaborative autoethnographic methodology, the two authors provide a narrative account of a year as two research Fellows in a university exploring writing as a method of inquiry through designing and implementing a series of performative arts-based writing activities.</p&gt;}, number={1}, journal={LEARNing Landscapes}, author={Fitzpatrick, Esther and Longley, Alys}, year={2020}, month={Jun.}, pages={115-128} }
