This was an open session for practice research postgraduate researchers in Creative Cultures. At Coventry University Creative Cultures is made up of four research centres: Centre for Postdigital Cultures (CPC), Centre for Dance Research (C-DaRE), Centre for Creative Economies (CCE) and Centre for Arts, Memory and Communities (CAMC).
The practice research postgraduates discussed their work and questions with Simon Ellis from C-DaRE. The conversation was broad and intriguing. We talked about: how the postgraduates’ projects had changed in time; the role of supervisors in their research; the nature of the ‘user experience’ when reading and viewing materials in the final submission; research in which the ‘practice’ is the object of the research (like observing the practices of other people); dealing with technical and technological constraints in presenting research and how that coincides with University regulations; and how the ‘contribution to knowledge’ is the only given in considering how the research is presented.
