Poetic Inquiry: Hello Kitty--A Feminist (symbol)? Dressed as HK to share my poem with my AP students I n response to Dr. Sandra L. Faulkner's Hello Kitty Goes to College: Poems about Harassment in the Academy , and after reading a lot about poetic inquiry as a method of qualitative research, including the book Poetic Inquiry: Vibrant Voices in the Social Sciences , I wrote the following research(ed) poem in response. I had the honor of presenting this poem to my cohort of scholars in the doctoral program at Appalachian State, and my professor skyped Dr. Faulkner so that she was present for my performative enactment. It was an amazing experience to share my work with the woman who inspired it, a person who is helping pave the way for poetics in research and women in academia, and she was so kind and encouraging. Hello Kitty Talks Back Thank you, Dr. Faulkner for giving me voice when I had none, for unsilencing me [I was NOT an elective mute],
