| UNIT REFERENCES, TEXTS, OUTCOMES AND ASSESSMENT DETAILS: | The most up-to-date information about unit references, texts and outcomes, will be provided in the unit outline. |
| Syllabus: | Students in this unit learn and engage with methodological approaches to projects in fields of media, creative arts and social inquiry to develop their critical and creative capacity for conceiving a project that would be significant to their studies, career or community engagement. Through three-hour weekly seminars and preparatory tasks, students explore a variety of topics, questions and methodological approaches to understand how research, critical and creative practices can be combined in the production of a project, exegesis or thesis that responds to a significant concern. The seminars will introduce students to a range of contemporary research issues from Indigenous Peoples’ rights, cultural and technological change, effective communication and engagement with community or industry networks. Through seminar activities and assessment tasks, students conceptualize, test and refine a central question for their project and evaluate methodological approaches that would enable them to answer the question. |
