FIMS 9609   Making and Methodology

Course Description
In this course, students will explore the reciprocal relationship between form and content, theory and practice, processes of inquiry and changing states of matter via the study of research-creation. Research-creation—also referred to as multi-modal and artistic research—pursues new knowledge using creative forms of inquiry (and often arts-based) processes. Drawing from multi-scalar examples, global and pan-indigenous perspectives on creative ecologies, students will discuss, critique, and decipher creative works and innovative methodologies toward the production of new methods.

This FIMS course is available to LIS PhD, and Media Studies MA and PhD students. 

Learning Outcomes
Upon conclusion of the course, students should be able to:
 
1. Identify meaningful connections across multimedia forms and texts;
2. Articulate the value of creative and experimental methods to scholarly research;
3. Rigorously engage non-written texts as critical sites of knowledge.
