Getting in touch: Poetic inquiry and the shift from measuring to sensing

In this article, I present a ‘poetic collage’, the methodological aim of which is to ‘elevate’ the voices of young people at the margins of the educational system. By use of poetic inquiry, I construct analyses that condensate the subjective experiences of young people’s interaction with political, structural and institutional conditions. The focus in the article is first of all to show how poetic inquiry is valuable as a methodological tool to create analytical work that encourages reflection as well as sensing experiences of young participants. Secondarily, it includes also a brief introduction to working analytically with poetic inquiry.
