>ARTICULATING MEDIA PRACTICE AS RESEARCH
>
>A One Day Symposium
>Friday 17 June 2005
>
>With the RAE 2008 in mind, the symposium seeks to explore media practice in
>research contexts and examine some current examples of research in and through
>practice.
>
>According to the AHRB Review of Research Assessment (September 2003), there
>was need for a clearer articulation of the research process - including 
>research
>methods, context and significance - in practice-led research that was 
>submitted to
>the last RAE.  It is therefore essential that faculties, departments and 
>academic
>practitioners who are applying for funding and/or intending to submit 
>practice in RAE
>2008 should understand ways in which practice may be effectively articulated,
>documented and contextualised as research.
>
>The AHRB suggest that practice-led research should incorporate a scholarly
>apparatus that enables other researchers to assess the value and 
>significance of the
>results of the research, and that completed work should have a record or 
>route map
>of the research process.  Similarly the Communication, Cultural and Media 
>Studies
>Panel Report on the last RAE exercise valued practice that could give a 
>reflexive
>account of itself as research, but found that many practitioners did not 
>explain ways
>in which the work constituted an original investigation in a research context.
>
>This symposium aims to explore these issues through presentations and 
>discussion
>groups. Speakers include Mica Nava (UEL), John Adams (Bristol), Robin Nelson
>(MMU), Rona Lee (RHUL - TBC), Cahal McLaughlin (RHUL), Michael Chanan
>(UWE), Helen Bendon (Middlesex). Themes will include constructing practice in
>research contexts; a review of current practice / research models; the 
>nature and
>forms of peer review and dissemination; the formulation of practice 
>research aims
>and methods.
>
>Ideas and proposals that emerge from these sessions will be developed with 
>a view
>to publication in the Journal of Media Practice.
>
>Registration fee is £40 including lunch and refreshments.
