Avoid trying to want to change something or convince someone/something
About inquiry:
- Don't assume you know your topic
- Practise based inquiry is by nature something you haven't looked into yet
- What different people have written/done research about your inquiry? Parents, age, genders etc?
About mapping:
- By mapping we mean understanding the context of the field I'm interested in
- Know the context of what you're researching
- What are the main theories, ethical considerations, discourses around the inquiry, different conversations people have around it. Then look at the side roads of different theories, talking to people in the field about that topic, getting more specific. You're able to after this tell someone about it.
About research:
- How do people in your practise do research? the thing that only you can do within your professional practice, it's different than others.
- Focus on different research methods - how do you really observe? can you draw, write poetry, taking part, how do you document that?
- Push boundaries of what you think research is, esp. practise based, more than just writing
Hi
ReplyDeleteWe did speak on the Skype with Helen. Would you be happy to be one of my participants in my Inquiry. I know we are all busy but it is not too time consuming - 2 questionnaire and a 5 min Skype interview?
Please let me know if you . I think it would be beneficial to have the thoughts of an Industry Professional on this course as part of my Inquiry and my subject seems to be one you are very interested in as part of your process.
Thanks
Amanda
Hi Amanda,
ReplyDeleteYes absolutely, would love to help out! Do you still have my email from that Skype session? You can send the questionnaire over. Looking forward to discussing with you!
Best wishes!
