Our popular reading group, hosted by The Binks Hub and led by Dr Autumn Roesch-Marsh and Jimmy Turner, is back for the new academic year.
We are pleased to share the return of our creative research methods reading group!
If you are new to the reading group, it is open to all and 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.
How often will we meet?
The group will meet for one hour every week. The dates of each meeting are below. We will use a Teams link which is here:
Meeting ID: 367 538 020 222 7
Passcode: Qj2sG9K5
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.
If you do not have access to the reading please let Jimmy know: Jimmy.Turner@ed.ac.uk
