Minor Thesis

Description

This module seeks to critically contextualize the students practice and projects through the written form, taking into consideration the wider social and cultural fields in which their practice will perform. Teaching proceeds through one-to-one and group tutorials. The project culminates with the production of written thesis.

Learning Outcomes

  1. Apply advanced research skills to bridge practical and theoretical methods to locate and access relevant material through exhibitions, screenings, symposia, libraries, archives, data bases and other resource centres.

  2. Apply analytical and research skills through the consideration of challenging exhibitions, film, written texts and visual artifacts.

  3. Reflect critically upon their own practice in relation to competing models of practice and competing value systems at play within contemporary creative practices. This can range from a consideration of methodological concerns to wider ethical concerns such as diversity and sustainability.

  4. Display advanced research and writing skills necessary for the production of a critically reflective contextualisation of their practice
