Practice is now firmly embedded in the research culture of a range of disciplines, and its impact seen and felt both within and beyond the creative and cultural industries. Join us on Thursday 4 June for a one-day symposium at 牛牛资源 exploring the future of practice research.
The relationship between practice and research continues to inspire lively debate. Diverse methodologies have developed across the various disciplines, but practice research itself increasingly defies disciplinary boundaries.
Debates about the impact of practice research, and how this impact is documented and measured, are of pressing urgency.
How can we best continue to assert the importance of practice research to the academy, to the professional world beyond, and to the general public?
Where does the most interesting and innovative practice research reside? How might we develop common languages and approaches so we can build on each other鈥檚 research? How do we peer review practice? How should we evidence the quality of practice research most effectively?
