8.TEACHING
(a)Areas of special interest and accomplishments
Regarding teaching, areas of special interest include: Secondary English Education, creative writing, autobiography, poetry, gender equity, television and popular culture, postmodern critical theory, narrative inquiry, curriculum theory, transformative education, spirituality and education, and arts-based approaches to research, especially poetic inquiry and artography. I have taught a wide range of teacher education and graduate courses, including courses in language across the curriculum, teaching writing, oral communication, narrative research methodology, and curriculum studies. Also, I have developed courses in Language Education and Gender, Narrative Inquiry in Education, and Pedagogy of the Heart.
Regarding accomplishments, I have devoted a great deal of attention to teaching, both in teacher education and graduate programs. Between January 2000 and December 2003, I supervised two successful off-campus MEd cohorts in Kitimat where teachers completed the requirements for a Master of Education degree by focusing on teacher research in the unique contexts of rural northern British Columbia. Since 2006, I have co-supervised with Dr. Karen Meyer and Dr. Munir Vellani three off-campus MEd cohorts in Vancouver with a focus on teacher research in the contexts of urban teaching and learning. The success of my teaching has been recognized by peers, and I was awarded the Killam Teaching Award in 1994-1995.

supervision
Note: In addition to teaching these courses, I have supervised directed reading courses (LLED 580 and CCFI 580) for 95 graduate students, with a focus mainly on narrative research methods in education.
In 2007, I supervised the final creative projects of two family practice residents in the Department of Family Practice at UBC. Krista Stogryn composed a collage of art and poetry, and was awarded the first prize for her project. Achinder Dhadwar wrote a short story for her project. In 2012, I supervised Ben Williams who wrote an autobiographical project. In 2013, I superved Nitasha Puri’s project titled “Being human and alive: Grasping at meaning in residency training.” I also reviewed and assessed Terri Aldred’s project titled “‘I am’: Walking the red road.”

(a)Areas of special interest and accomplishments
When I was interviewed in March 1990 for a position in the Department of Language Education (now the Department of Language and Literacy Education) at the University of British Columbia, I explained that my scholarly interests included English language arts education, creative writing, and postmodern critical theory. Moreover, I explained that I was a poet, educator, and scholar with a keen interest in promoting poetry and creative writing, and especially ways to support educational research, theory, and practice by attending to issues of poetic discourse and poetic knowing. In my teaching, researching, and writing, I have continued to promote the significant value of attending to language from creative perspectives. I am committed to exploring the lively intersections between critical discourse and creative discourse. Too often in the academy, the creative arts are separated from the social science disciplines. My goal is to open up spaces for the creative arts to inform education research.
In some ways, my academic and creative interests might seem closer to the interests of colleagues in a Department of English or a Department of Creative Writing. As part of my academic preparation for a university position, I completed two magistral degrees—one in English literature and creative writing, and one in English curriculum and instruction—in order to decide whether I would pursue doctoral studies in English literature or in English education. With nine years of school teaching experience and a commitment to school education, I made the decision to pursue an academic career in a Faculty of Education. I joined the Department of Language Education with a clear commitment to specific creative and scholarly goals, and during my eighteen years at the University of British Columbia, I have pursued those goals in a sustained and productive way, especially as a poet-educator-scholar. From the beginning, I was eager to pursue both academic scholarship and creative scholarship, and to demonstrate how academic and creative scholarship are inextricably related in interdisciplinary ways. During my time at UBC, I have published in both academic and literary journals, and I continue to seek lines of connection between the practice of creative writing and researching creative uses of language.
Therefore, one accomplishment that I regard as especially noteworthy is my acceptance into membership in the League of Canadian Poets. Membership in the League is determined by a peer review of published books of poetry. Since I joined the Department of Language and Literacy Education, I have written and published poetry in three books, as well as in an extensive range of journals and anthologies. In addition, I have written one book and several essays about teaching poetry as literature in classrooms. As a poet -educator-scholar, I research and teach both the composition and rhetoric of poetry as creative writing, as well as the curriculum and pedagogy of poetry as literature. Also, related to my keen creative and academic interests in poetry, I have researched and written about issues of poetic knowing and living, and how poetry can inform theorizing about curriculum and school culture.
Above all, my experience as a poet motivates and informs my teaching and scholarship because in my poetry I embody and examine the concepts and principles of postmodern perspectives on language and literacy education. Much of my research is theoretical and conceptual, as was my doctoral research at the University of Alberta. In my teaching and scholarship I am building bridges between theory and practice. Since 1985 I have explored connections between postmodernism and language education because postmodernism interrogates the ways in which reality, identity, and knowledge are shaped and revealed through language use. As a language educator, I have embraced postmodernism because postmodernism supports the kind of student-centered, experiential, process-oriented, and reader-response approaches that I think constitute the heart of language and literacy education. Above all, postmodernism seeks to nurture in students a sense of wonder for language and the power of language. I count myself among those postmodern writers and scholars who write in diverse discourses that challenge and interrogate the conventions of standard academic writing in order to investigate creative ways of using language. I am engaged in scholarship that seeks to revitalize the practice of language and literacy education by exploring innovative ways to understand theoretically and conceptually the goals and practices of language educators.
Next, I will highlight what I regard as a few of the strengths that I bring to my position in the Department of Language and Literacy Education. First, I teach courses in teaching written composition at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. I contend that my teaching about rhetoric and composition is enhanced by my active pursuit of many kinds of writing—academic as well as creative. My experience as a poet and fiction writer enlivens and informs my teaching. Hence, I look to the practices of a writer-educator-scholar like Donald Murray (University of New Hampshire) as a model that guides me. As a poet I devote a great deal of time to the process of drafting, shaping, and revising my poems. I regard my poetry and fiction writing as an integral part of the scholarly and academic and creative work that I do at the University of British Columbia. In my writing I seek to illustrate what Magda Lewis, a colleague in the Faculty of Education at Queen’s University, calls the poetic way of knowing in contrast to the analytic way of knowing.
Also, my commitment to poetry and creative writing significantly informs my teaching and writing in the area of narrative approaches to educational research, especially arts-based inquiry and autobiography. I have been promoting alternative approaches to education research since I arrived at UBC. I have written about autobiography in education research, and I have worked with many graduate students who have used narrative methodologies in their research. More recently, I have begun to focus on the emerging research methodology of artography which Dr. Rita Irwin has been instrumental in promoting.
I provide the following brief descriptions of several research projects in order to explain more clearly the nature of my research in collaboration with colleagues at the University of British Columbia and the University of Lethbridge. These projects represent the interdisciplinary and wide-ranging goals of my teaching, research, and writing as a poet-educator-scholar.
Portrayals of teachers’ lives: Investigating teacher education through popular culture
Funding and Duration: $151,235 (2011-2014)
Source: Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada
Role: Carl Leggo, Co-Investigator
Description: The purpose of this study is to investigate: 1) how contemporary and historic portrayals of lives of teachers are rendered in popular culture through integrative methods of creative nonfiction, digital media and life writing; 2) how these methods demonstrate exemplary participatory arts practice; and 3) how the emergence of integrative methods in teacher education reflects diverse ways of thinking about educational programming and curriculum. The key objectives in this study are to assess the methodological value of using integrative methods of creative nonfiction, digital media and life writing as both art and research, and how the application of these methods contributes to discourses that promise to improve practice in the area of teacher education. (The research team includes: Anita Sinner [principal], Erika Hasebe-Ludt, and Carl Leggo.)
Becoming Pedagogical through A/r/tography in Teacher Education
Funding and Duration: $147,600 (2008-2012)
Source: Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada
Role: Carl Leggo, Co-Investigator
Description: The purpose of the proposed study is to investigate how a/r/tography is uniquely situated to enact, develop and problematize becoming pedagogical in a teacher education program. A/r/tography is a hybrid form of practice-based action research within education and the arts. Drawing upon the professional practices of educators and artists, becoming pedagogical within a teacher education context asserts that teacher candidates who are engaged in inquiry that uses their artistic and pedagogical sensibilities and capabilities in ongoing, disciplined, community-engaged, dialogic forms of research are able to problematize what it means to become pedagogical. (The research team includes: Rita Irwin [principal], George Belliveau, Stephanie Springgay, Donal O’Donoghue, and Peter Gouzouasis.)
Doing Time: A Time for Incarcerated Women to Develop an Action Health Strategy
Funding and Duration: $372,000 (2008-2010)
Source: Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR)
Role: Carl Leggo, Co-Investigator
Description: The purposes of this study are to determine the impact of women’s abilities to meet their health and social needs during the year following release from prison on the success of their re-integration into communities; and to evaluate and foster community-based peer support of released women; and to engage newly released women, health authorities, regional and provincial government and prison officials in translating the research into a health action strategy to support improved health and successful reintegration into society among women transitioning from prison. As part of this research project, women who have left prison will be invited to engage in creative writing as an educational and healing activity. (The principal investigators are R. Martin and P. Janssen. Leggo is one of a team of fifteen co-investigators.)
Rewriting Literacy Curriculum in Canadian Cosmopolitan Schools
Funding and Duration: $91,320 (2007-2010)
Source: Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada
Role: Carl Leggo, Co-Investigator
Description: Teacher education and schooling in Canada face unprecedented challenges as a result of globalization, intercultural/international migration, and changes in local literate and cultural practices. This study (with Erika Hasebe-Ludt [principal] and Cynthia Chambers) is investigating crucial issues arising from these movements for educational institutions and populations in Canada. Specifically, the research focuses on the education of teachers and their students by engaging them in life writing as a form of teacher research. It also seeks to create opportunities for collaborative research among faculty members and teachers through life writing, with the aim of identifying appropriate theoretical and pedagogical frameworks for the study and practice of literacy, curriculum, and teacher education in culturally diverse schooling environments.
Poetic Inquiry in Qualitative Research Practice: A Critical Survey Funding and Duration: $81,000 (2006-2008)
Source: SSHRCC Postdoctoral Fellowship
Role: Carl Leggo, Postdoctoral Supervisor
Description: I supervised Dr. Monica Prendergast who conducted a postdoctoral research project titled Poetic inquiry in qualitative research practice: A critical survey (funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, May 2006 to April 2008) into poetic inquiry practices in qualitative research in the social sciences in a wide range of disciplines, including education, anthropology, sociology, psychology, cultural studies, geography, social work, nursing, health, administration, and urban planning. (An explanation of this timely and comprehensive research project is available at: http://www.ccfi.educ.ubc.ca/people/M_Prendergast.html.)
Investigating Curriculum Integration: The Arts and Diverse Learning Environments
Funding and Duration: $159,000 (2004-2007)
Source: Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada
Role: Carl Leggo, Co-Investigator
Description: The purpose of this study was to investigate teachers’ beliefs and practices within five different, yet popular, arts programming learning environments designed to teach the arts and use the arts as an integrative tool for holistic learning in an effort to understand how teachers and students conceptualize arts integration in their quest for knowledge creation. (The research team includes: Rita Irwin [principal], Carl Leggo, Kit Grauer, & Peter Gouzouasis.) Although recent research has detailed connections between arts instruction and academic achievement as well as connections between long-term personally relevant professional development for teachers and the implementation of arts curricula, research studies have not examined how educators conceptualize arts integration across a variety of arts programming models, nor how these conceptualizations might change through ongoing teacher research. Integration, or interdisciplinary curriculum, is promoted and often assumed to take place, yet is seldom assessed. If the arts are capable of enhancing academic achievement when teachers integrate the arts in an effort to enhance learning, then it behoves us to understand how teachers and learners alike conceptualize integration, and how we can strengthen or enhance instruction. This is vitally critical as we attempt to teach educators about stronger pedagogical practices.
Arts-based Research in Education: Contentious Compromise or Creative Collaboration Funding and Duration: $ 60,000 (2004-2006)
Source: Hampton-funded Research
Role: Carl Leggo, Principal Investigator
Description: The goal of this research project was to investigate the critical challenges involved in arts-based research in education. (The research team includes: Carl Leggo [principal], Rita Irwin, Kit Grauer, & Peter Gouzouasis.) Developing from the work of American and Canadian scholars, such as John Dewey, Elliot Eisner, Maxine Greene, Thomas Barone, Ardra Cole, Gary Knowles, Lorri Neilsen, Cynthia Chambers, Rishma Dunlop, Celeste Snowber, Sandra Weber, Claudia Mitchell, and Joe Norris, arts-based research is a rapidly growing field in education. Arts-based researchers contend that the creative arts are a mode of inquiry that provides significant perspectives for making decisions regarding pedagogical theory, policy, and practice. Even though arts-based research has developed significantly in the past decade, there are still many critical concerns that demand attention. Ongoing critical challenges for this emerging field of research methodology suggest that a) arts-based research is under-theorized, naïve, and narcissistic; b) arts-based research is neither good research nor good art; c) arts-based researchers do not make enough connections with the pure disciplines; and d) arts-based researchers do not adequately communicate their research results. These challenges are being researched and addressed in this study.
