our community identify as practice-based. In the course of our work, we
routinely experience the need to communicate that work’s value to those
familiar with more traditional, positivist, scholarly modes. We also often find
ourselves struggling to justify our work’s logic, goals, and methods to our
institutional research ethics boards (REBs), as we navigate their social
science-driven protocols in order even to be allowed to begin our work. </p>

issues is new; PbR (or PaR) has been a part of theatre and performance research
for decades now. What is, perhaps, new is an increasingly institutional drive
toward equity, inclusion, and decolonisation. Could such a turn, perhaps, make
space for practice-based researchers to begin to shift the dial on what kind of
work is seen, heard, measured, enabled, and institutionally recognized?</p>

they find creative ways to navigate the research ethics process. Our hope for
this session is not only to share ideas and resources, but also to take
practical tactics and potential strategies back to our home institutions. </p>
