Abstract
The authors describe an arts-based social research and development approach in helping Myanmar refugee women share their ideas about the elements of a culturally responsive community support system for their resettlement in Dallas, Texas. To illuminate the relevance of the arts in social research and development using group work methods in the form of workshops, the authors involved 60 Myanmar refugee women in the co-design of a community resource in partnership with social workers. The authors recommend that evaluators and program planners gain skills in artist-mediated participatory group work methods in resettlement using the process of social research and development.
期刊介绍:
Evaluation and Program Planning is based on the principle that the techniques and methods of evaluation and planning transcend the boundaries of specific fields and that relevant contributions to these areas come from people representing many different positions, intellectual traditions, and interests. In order to further the development of evaluation and planning, we publish articles from the private and public sectors in a wide range of areas: organizational development and behavior, training, planning, human resource development, health and mental, social services, mental retardation, corrections, substance abuse, and education.
