Following a prologue in Chapter 1, Chapter 2 delves into the pivotal role of departmental culture and leadership in shaping parental leave experience. Findings reveal that the parental leave policy at one R1 institution fell short in providing adequate support due to the absence of proactive guidance from supervisors and department heads. The chapter emphasizes the limitations of policies as standalone solutions and highlights the need for supportive leadership to complement institutional structural support.In Chapter 3, the exploration shifts to an introspective examination of maternal identity, interwoven with personal narrative and narratives collected from new mothers. Drawing from Adrienne Rich’s conceptualization of motherhood as both an experience and an institution, the chapter elucidates the emotional, physical, and institutional pressures new mothers face as they navigate conflicting expectations from societal norms and workplace demands. Chapter 4 uncovers the subtle yet pervasive nature of covert discrimination experienced by academic parents on parental leave. Despite explicit anti-discrimination policies, participants reveal instances of retaliation and interference, often difficult to report due to vague policy definitions. This chapter advocates for a proactive approach to address systemic barriers and calls for more explicit definitions and enforcement mechanisms within anti-discrimination policies. Chapter 5 concludes with actionable recommendations to improve the parental leave experience for UArizona employees. These recommendations, outlined in a white paper intended for the Office of University Initiatives, underscore the importance of fostering a supportive and inclusive culture, providing accurate information, mitigating faculty workload pressures during leave, and implementing return-to-work plans.

A Humument (1966-2016), Tom Phillips’s masterwork, is an artist's book which falls under the category of found text by virtue of its compositional strategies. The book indeed consists in a revisitation and a détournement of every single page of a Victorian novel entitled A Human Document, published in 1892 by a certain William H. Mallock. Each page of A Humument constitutes a verbo-iconic complex in which the words isolated by Phillips and the various visual elements with which he covers the source text come into interaction, in often very elaborate configurations. The hybrid constellations patiently developed by Phillips are usually grounded in a very broad intertextual network which incorporates the established arts (literature, painting, music, etc.) alongside other artistic forms considered minor, including comics. The aim of our essay is to study as closely as possible Phillips’s re-appropriations of codes specific to comics, which he mobilizes in ways which alternate between the parodic and the poetic. Our analysis will thus focus on the formal hybridizations that Phillips operates on several pages of his work; it will also give us the opportunity to interrogate the necessarily problematic relationships which potentially unite comics and avant-gardist practices at the intersection of verbal and iconic registers., A Humument (1966-2016), l’œuvre magistrale de Tom Phillips, est un livre d’artiste qui émarge, en son principe, à la catégorie du found text. L’ouvrage procède en effet à une reprise et à un détournement, page après page, d’un roman victorien intitulé A Human Document, publié en 1892 par un certain William H. Mallock. Chaque page de A Humument se présente comme un complexe verbo-iconique où entrent en interaction, dans des configurations souvent très élaborées, les mots isolés par Phillips et les éléments visuels divers dont il recouvre le texte-source. Les constellations hybrides patiemment développées par Phillips procèdent, en règle générale, d’un très large brassage intertextuel. S’y trouvent convoqués tour à tour les arts institués (littérature, peinture, musique, etc.), mais aussi les arts considérés comme mineurs, dont la bande dessinée. Notre essai se donne pour visée d’étudier au plus près la réappropriation à laquelle Phillips se livre quant aux codes propres à la bande dessinée, qu’il mobilise tantôt sur un mode parodique, tantôt sur un mode plus poétique. Notre réflexion se focalisera de la sorte sur les hybridations formelles que Phillips opère sur plusieurs pages de son ouvrage ; elle nous donnera également l’occasion de nous interroger quant aux relations, forcément problématiques, qui unissent potentiellement, au double registre du verbal et de l’iconique, avant-garde et bande dessinée.

This essay examines three contemporary Swedish poetry books that are all based on foundmaterial from everyday life such as transcriptions from a radio channel, personal calendarsand documents from the workplace. Using Martin Glaz Serup’s theories about relationalpoetry combined with Walter Benjamin’s ideas on the author as a producer, it investigates thepolitical and documentary dimensions of found poetry as a practice. The books are examinedone by one in chronological order and the analysis aims for a deeper understanding ofquestions about authorship, distribution and the poetic voice, as well as ethical dilemmas. Theresult recognises found poetry as a specific and complex method, that requires more attentionand research in a world where copying text is becoming as natural as writing in itself.

Research poetry is a novel, arts-based form of data analysis and representation in which researchers create a poem from the transcripts of qualitative interviews. This chapter documents the often hidden processes of creating research poems, drawing on data from study about older nursing home residents to illustrate five key steps: immersion, creation, critical reflection, ethics, and engagement (the ICCEE approach). Practical examples, processes, and strategies are outlined, designed to empower readers to engage and experiment with research poetry, also known as poetic inquiry.

Six pre-service teachers participated in a component of narrative inquiry that took place the week before their teacher education program began. The component offered the teachers a variety of multimodal activities, such as body biographies, teaching museums, and paper tearing representations, all making use of repurposed materials, to critically consider their recurring narratives in relation to their recurring pedagogical beliefs and practices. Handmade journals and resolution scrapbooks acted as places to reflect and record their responses (Author). For this paper, I turned to narrative inquiry supported by found poetry and focus on the part of the component that contains the written contents of the teachers’ resolution scrapbooks. More specifically, I asked, "What are the effects of the application of the resolution scrapbook on the recurring narratives of six pre-service teachers?"

This action research inquiry, undertaken in partnership with the Independent Schools Association of British Columbia (ISABC), was guided by the question: How might the ISABC’s Team Leadership Program support the leadership development and thriving of emerging and middle leaders throughout and beyond the COVID-19 pandemic? Data were collected with a survey and two focus groups involving 52 participants from 16 independent schools. Arts-based approaches included photo elicitation and found poetry. Key findings indicated the pandemic has magnified the human side of educational leadership and thriving as being a middle leader requires communication, relationship building, and the prioritization of followers’ needs. Recommendations addressed strategies to (a) develop self-awareness, coaching, and interpersonal skills amongst emerging leaders; (b) capitalize on existing leadership networks to foster a stronger sense of belonging within the ISABC; and (c) offer leadership-focused professional development and resources accessible to the broader ISABC community.
