The three-day symposium, called “Poetry as a Way of Knowing,” brought together international poets and scholars from different disciplines and countries. Over 35 presenters from the United Kingdom, Tasmania, Japan, United States, and throughout Canada explored the role of poetry in research. They discussed the art of poetry as a literary genre and inquiry practice during academic sessions, presentations, poetry readings, and informal discussions.

“We are excited that the symposium builds partnerships and brings together local and international poets, scholars, and the community at large, in a vibrant gathering and celebration of poetic voices,” says UPEI education professor Suzanne Thomas. She co-chaired the symposium with Ardra Cole of the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE) at the University of Toronto.
