Syllabus

This unit develops knowledge and skills pertinent to research conducted by creative practitioners. We begin with an introduction to the research framework, examining research paradigms, and the logic of ethical, experimental and epistemological research. Students develop skills in practice-led research techniques, formative thinking, and high-level reflective and critical practice.

This unit is co-taught with 8903 Cultural Research G.
