The Binks Hub – Creative Research Methods Reading Group

Event Series Event Series (See All)

14th November 9:30 AM 17th November 10:30 AM GMT

Join this new online reading group hosted by The Binks Hub, led by Dr Autumn Roesch-Marsh.

This reading group, open to all, will focus on creative and artistically engaged methods for research.  The emphasis will be on practice and the application of methods.  We may invite participants to experiment between reading group meetings, but this is not required.  You do not have to be an academic or a student to join this reading group, but you should have an interest in creative methods.

For the first few weeks I have identified readings ahead of time.  Once we have a group established, I am happy to develop the list and add titles which the group are particularly interested in.  We may also invite staff or students with particular methods expertise to open our discussion.

How often will we meet?

The group will meet for 1 hour every week. The dates of each meeting are below.  Generally, we will meet on Thursday mornings (except for a couple of exceptions when we will meet on a Wednesday).  We will use a Teams link which is here:

Preparation

You are asked to complete the reading ahead of the groups and write down any questions it raised for you.

Our format for the discussion will be:

  • 1 minute response from each group member (this could be a creative response or just an overview of what it made you think, feel, wonder about)
  • 30 minutes – Open discussion
  • 5 minutes at the end – Summarising key takeaways or things we might think about bringing into our research practise.

Autumn will keep a note of these and add them to an annotated bibliography which will be shared with the group.

If you do not have access to the reading please let Autumn know: a.roeschmarsh@ed.ac.uk
