Online seminar on the challenges and rewards of creative practice research in the academy.
About this event
While creative practice research is a staple of many Australian and Aotearoa/New Zealand universities, how it is understood, acknowledged, valued and celebrated is divergent at best. From internal collection mechanisms and workload allocations to external-facing research strategies and sector bench-marking for promotions – let alone how colleagues value one another’s work through the ERA and PBRF – it truly represents a ‘wicked problem’. In this seminar, colleagues will discuss the lived experience of this multifaceted space, sharing ‘from the coalface’ some of the challenges, and hopefully some of the breakthroughs, of working with creative research in the academy.
Date: Friday 22 July, 2022 – 12-1:30pm AEST – via Zoom.
