Abstract
This chapter will present an overview of three particular methodologies of arts-based research: narrative, poetry, and performance. This chapter will discuss the ways in which these methodological approaches to research may be effective means through which to capture and share the knowledge possessed by community stakeholders. This chapter has positioned community stakeholders as partners in arts-based research. When university faculty and community stakeholders form reciprocal, mutually beneficial partnerships, it becomes possible to create and disseminate the knowledge needed to support a democratic society.
