Discussion forum: Friday 18th September, 2-4pm, School of Art Lecture Theatre
The concept of practice-led research is now fundamental to university teaching and research in the creative arts . For example it underpins the Australian Research Council’s Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) data collection exercise, which will be used to measure and reward universities.
But how is the concept of practice-led research playing itself out on the ground with lecturers in media arts? How is our practice informing our teaching? How is our teaching informing our practice? Are our practices being measured in the right way? Is the concept of practice-led research evolving in a different way for creative artists in media areas than for artists in other areas? These and other questions will be discussed in a free-ranging conversation chaired by Dr Tim Brook, Visiting Fellow at the ANU School of Art and Adjunct Lecturer in the Faculty of Engineering and IT.
