Abstract
For nearly 30 years, researchers in the humanities and social sciences have been exploring the world and the human experience through poetry.This approach, known as poetic inquiry, has grown globally thanks to events like the International Symposium of Poetic Inquiry (ISPI).The symposium gathers researchers, poets, research-poets and poet-researchers every two years to share ideas and practices, build networks and relationships, enable lively exchanges and advance cross-disciplinary scholarship.Since starting in 2007, these conferences have been held in the Global North -Canada, the UK and the US.However, the eighth ISPI in May 2022 was a breakthrough hybrid event held in person and online in South Africa.It was the first time the symposium had been held on African soil.A group of researchpoets/ poet-researchers dedicated to advancing poetic inquiry in the Global South, including the editors and contributors of this book, led the conference.This shift brought fresh perspectives, incorporating rich poetic traditions and Indigenous knowledge systems from the Global South into a field of inquiry that had been shaped by the Global North.The 2022 symposium theme, 'Intersections of silence and (in)visibility', allowed for a lively and timely dialogue among attendees.It challenged conventional views on what constitutes valid and reliable research evidence and celebrated diverse ways of understanding the world.In a rapidly changing world, reshaped by a decolonisation agenda, more and more researchers and students are seeking research methods that allow them to engage creatively and critically with the 'Euro-Western' ways of knowing being upheld by the academy.This was abundantly evident at ISPI 2022.The event was not just a gathering; it was also a showcase of how poetry and poetic inquiry can challenge and enrich our understanding of complex social issues such

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
