Syllabus: Research Seminar 491 explores how art and design practice operate as valid alternatives to traditional scholarly methods of research and Introduces students to a range of current and traditional research paradigms. It also provides students with models, methods and approaches for staging and conducting art and design research that situates studio enquiry more firmly within the broader knowledge and cultural arena. Students are asked to critically reflect on and question their role as creative practitioners, and to elaborate methodologies, contexts and outcomes at the heart of art and design enquiry. The relationship between research, theory, practice and writing is examined as a means to promote a more profound understanding of how knowledge is revealed, acquired and expressed.
