This is a programme of research events, seminars and conferences, co-organised by the Graduate School network of collaborators and informed by the different research strengths and concerns of the collaborators. The programme seeks to create a cross-fertilisation of research themes and projects through regular structured public dialogues and discursive exchanges. Doctoral researchers and doctoral supervisors across the creative arts, both locally- and internationally-based, will be facilitated to develop critical dialogues with each other and with colleagues from other disciplines both inside and outside the academy through these various initiatives. The programme seeks to be both flexible and dynamic in facilitating researchers to share their established inquiries and project outcomes as well as enabling emergent research practices to find a first public voice.
See last year’s programme here.
The School is keen to work with colleagues from across all creative research domains to initiate, develop and realise new research conversations and projects. We welcome ideas for developing and actualising this outline framework of events as well as proposals for possible future events and thematics. Topics will be posted shortly.
