Abstract
Morgaine explores the process of using collage as a data-analysis method in a project about newly emerging non-binary sexualities. Focusing on the creative process as it organically unfolds, this chapter situates each step in the process in arts-based and anti-oppressive research practices. Morgaine examines the symbolic and methodological suitability of collage as a disruptive and multifaceted arts-based research tool that can advance anti-oppressive research practice through audience reach and visibility of marginalized groups.
