| Syllabus: | This unit in research methodologies is designed for postgraduate coursework students in the School of Media, Culture and Creative Arts. In this unit, students will explore various types of research that may inform or help to shape their Masters project and be introduced to a range of ways in which research and creative or critical work might relate to each other. The unit seeks to help students to refine topics, approaches and research strategies in the creation of the Masters dissertation, to explore the relationship between research and creative/critical projects in the humanities and to isolate the research tasks appropriate to individual Masters projects. This unit is run as a two-hour seminar each fortnight for fourteen weeks. The unit is primarily taught through structured, though informal, seminar discussion. The seminar will include group discussion of set readings, and in-depth and ongoing discussion of students’ research project. The aims and objectives will be achieved through the following process. Considering students’ relationship to their topic, and their inspiration, background and aspirations for their topic: 1. Formulating a central concern or question to which their project responds 2. Developing a research plan appropriate to their topic and central question 3. Sharing the various research plans developed within the group. |
