Module Content
Outline Syllabus:This module provides an opportunity to propose and undertake an individual or collaborative practice-related ISP (independent study project). Students receive advisor support for their agreed research direction and theme, and develop a project proposal through appropriate methods and approaches. Practice is developed, questioned, reflected on, and analysed collectively through dialogues, presentations, seminars and critiques.
Additional Information:Through advisor-led seminars, and workshops a range of critical frameworks, informed by interdisciplinary perspectives are introduced, examined, analysed and interrogated. Students undertake research into the critical framing of selected relevant practices and articulate their findings through presentations to the group and a project proposal in order to begin to develop the critical foundations for their own practice and to understand the positioning of their own practice in contemporary cultural contexts.
