1:30pm - 3:40pm Workshop with Professor Estelle Barrett | Register online

PROGRAM:

1:30pm – 2:30pm
How Does the Work of Art Operate as The Production of Knowledge?

The presentation will include a review of the evolution of practice as research (PAR) and consider ongoing challenges faced by researchers in the field. In the second part of the paper an analytical framework will be introduced in order to articulate how the work of art can operate aesthetically, technically, conceptually, critically and culturally to articulate new knowledge. Exemplars of successfully completed PAR projects will be used to demonstrate the application of the framework in PAR research writing.

2:30pm – 3:30pm
Workshop

The workshop task will involve students working in groups to discuss how the analytical framework presented earlier can be applied directly to their own research projects. The session will end with each participant discussing their own research project within the context of the suggested framework.
