This course will give you an overview of avant-garde and arts-based approaches of doing qualitative research and provide you with basic knowledge about creative methods in the social sciences.
Led by Dr Alexandrina Vanke and contemporary artist Victoria Lomasko, we will cover a full-cycle qualitative study and explain how to incorporate arts-based strategies at all stages of research. We will discuss how to:
• create research designs building on avant-garde and documentary approaches;
• combine arts-based strategies of data collection, such as drawing and collaging, with qualitative methods of observing, participating and interviewing;
• use sketches and comics in the study of everyday lives, material culture and urban space;
• elaborate strategies of analysis of multisensory data;
• employ the research assemblage and creative writing complemented by visual narratives;
• apply arts-informed strategies in the process of disseminating research outputs.
You will need to bring pencils and markers, paper and old magazines, scissors and glue.
This course will run from 9:30 - 12:30 (BST) on Wednesday 27th and Thursday 28th October and will be charged at the one full day rate.
