Handbook

This course introduces you to advanced methods of inquiry, analysis, and discovery relevant for contemporary art research at Honours level. The course introduces and models a variety of pertinent research methods so you can formulate approaches relevant to your own distinct Honours research projects. The course fosters a community of student and academic researchers willing to experiment with ideas and learn from each other to develop innovative projects that advance contemporary art discourse in Australia and beyond. Through seminars, small group discussions, and one-on-one feedback, the course supports you to create a toolkit for planning and undertaking research that contributes ideas and experimental practices to the art community. It encourages you to understand the foundations of your practice, whether in art making, writing, or curating, and to learn how to hone your research skills in various professional contexts after graduating.
