Module Three - Artefacts

Module Three students, I am battling a horrible chest infection and not up to talking very much at all. I am happy to talk individually with you about your artefact a little later on, and I have scheduled a session for us to meet one last time ahead of submission of work for this term to discuss the presentations also. This will be :

Tuesday April 18, 1900 (BST)

I am uploading to unihub for you today some examples of past artefacts from this programme - not to suggest 'this is how they should look' at all, but to offer some examples where students have really considered effectively how the artefact communicates something of their research process and is relevant to the context of their practice - these are the two main intentions of the artefact.

Module Two Student Consultation meeting

Students currently in Module Two this term, we would like a short meeting with you to inform you of the re-validation of the MA programmes in April, and what that will mean for you as you begin your final module of study in September. 

Can I propose we meet on 

Thursday March 30th, 1700 (BST) 

Please comment below to say if you are able to attend this meeting.

Module Three Session(s) this week

Aware that not all of you have been able to attend the Module Three sessions live this term, and mindful that this session is where we will discuss ideas for practice-based artefacts and talk about the relationships between the different modes of work you will submit for assessment in May, I wanted to offer this session repeated across two different time/dates this week. 

Tuesday March 28th, 1730-1830 (BST) slightly later than scheduled

Plus 

Friday March 31st, 10.30-11.30 (BST)

Please indicate in the comments below which session you plan to attend live.

Please note that times in the UK switched to British Summer Time at the weekend so we are now GMT +1hr

Academic Writing session

 A reminder that we have our re-scheduled Academic Writing session this week with Peter Thomas

Thursday March 9th, 0900-1000 (GMT)

The session is aimed as a refresher on academic writing skills, tips, approaches for reading and writing in academic study.

 

The session will be recorded 

Theories and Frameworks - Sunday Discussion group focus

 Tomorrow Sunday March 5, 1900 

we have our next Sunday Discussion Group of this term. 

The zoom room for this meeting (same link as all sessions) will be open for you to enter 20mins before the start time of the session, please do take this time to arrive, check your connection, connect with each other informally, get tea/coffee and generally settle into your space.

As noted on your schedules, the focus of the discussion is 'Theories and Frameworks' 

As always, with these Sunday sessions, this is a space for you to learn in dialogue with others, to share ideas, thinking, processing, without the need to have definitively formed answers. 

In preparation for this conversation, please do give some thought to how you are experiencing theories and frameworks in your practice and study at this moment. 

Some questions to guide your pre-session thinking:

What established frameworks in arts based research as you becoming aware of?

What frameworks are emerging through your practice?

What are some of the theories you are engaging with in developing deeper understanding of your practice through research?

How do theories and frameworks work in a transactional relationship of developing  knowledge?

Please do add further thoughts and questions for consideration in the comments below.
