Abstract :With the increased need for multiple methods in social sciences allowing a deeper understanding of interdisciplinarity and cross-cultural interactions in research and pedagogic contexts, scholars have started using arts based methodologies worldwide. Among these, poetic inquiry is one of the most expressive and convenient forms. This study aims to offer an extensive introduction to the field of poetic inquiry so as to introduce the concept and where it is applied, drawing upon my own studies as examples for the application of poetic inquiry as research and pedagogic methodologies. Within this framework, in the study, the collaboration between poetic inquiry and anthropology is underlined, expanding on how ethnographic poetry can be inspirational along with the poetry of other poets to gain insight and deeper meaning in their field of research. This is the means through which the artistic way of knowing can be acknowledged and honored in a field of social studies The use of ABR and poetic inquiry can radically change the pedagogy in multidisciplinary classrooms and this is observable in the ethnic poetry of anthropologists and other social science researchers beside the poetry of literary scholars.Keywords : Poetic inquiry, art-based research, social sciences, poetry, pedagogy, Poetic inquiry, art-based research, poetry, social sciences, pedagogy
