Additional Information:The module will explore a series of case studies using differing scales of creative practice and interventions led by or instigated at individual or community level. The case studies will bring students an understanding of complex issues arising from creative communities as a focus of research or study. The module will further explore the theory of social and cultural impact and their measurements within practice. Students will understand how using case studies within research uses specific sites of action to extend or add strength to existing knowledge, the examination of real-life situations for basis of application of ideas. Assessment will be through the critical evaluation of a case study of creative communities in action.
