How does your research fit into emergent post-disciplinary spaces in Academia? This 1-day workshop is a co-production of the Advanced Research Centre (University of Glasgow) and the Binks Hub (University of Edinburgh). We will draw upon our collective expertise in interdisciplinary, participatory and artistic and creative research methods to guide you through hands-on creative and artistic approaches that you can use to research, analyse, communicate and make sense of your research project in post-disciplinary contexts. Over the course of the workshop we will use creative methods to deepen our understandings of inter- and post-disciplinary approaches to academic research.
We will draw on:
Zine-making – Dr Lisa Bradley and Dr Mindy Ptolemy will lead a zine-making session in which you will consider yourself as a post-disciplinary researcher and your PhD project as a post-disciplinary artifact.
Curation – Dr Jimmy Turner will guide you through a co-curation of the zines produced into a series of mini-exhibitions through which the links and relations between your projects are surfaced.
Creative writing – Interspersed through the day will be creative writing interventions facilitated by writer and artist Rhiannon Bull to help you define your intentions, reflect on your creative work, and reflect upon and evaluate your experiences.
All four workshop leads are very experienced in the delivery of these kinds of workshops and will design the sessions to ensure that participants will need no prior experience of, or knowledge about, post-disciplinarity, zine-making, curation or creative writing in order to participate fully.
