[eccr] Articulating Media Practice as Research Symposium

>ADVANCE NOTICE;
>
>LONDON SOUTH BANK UNIVERSITY
>in association with
>THE JOURNAL OF MEDIA PRACTICE
>
>ARTICULATING MEDIA PRACTICE AS RESEARCH
>
>A One Day Symposium
>Friday 17 June 2005
>
>Speakers to be confirmed.  For  more information contact Dr Charlotte 
>Crofts at
>(croftscv /at/ lsbu.ac.uk)
>
>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 asses 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. 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.
