[Commlist] Call for Papers: Recontextualising Practice-Based Research IJCMR SI

    CFP: Recontextualising Practice-Based Research


      Guest editor: Agata Lulkowska (Staffordshire University)

​

Despite having been around for over three decades, practice-based 
research continues to be a source of controversy and confusion. 
Questions persist about how to design the most relevant methodology, how 
to demonstrate ‘originality’, ‘significance’ and ‘rigour’ (as defined in 
the REF criteria), and how to disseminate the outputs. Positioned in 
between creative arts and traditional research, Art/Practice-based 
research often lacks clearly defined target audiences. Moreover, with 
the emergence of practice-based masters and doctoral programmes across 
(mostly UK and Australian) HE institutions, questions about how to 
design the most effective training and support still remain largely 
unanswered.

​

With this in mind, this special issue seeks to re-contextualise 
practice-based research in creative arts and humanities by returning to 
the basic questions addressing the trajectory of a typical 
practice-based research. Topics within the scope of this issue include 
but are not limited to:

​

1.What is practice-based research in creative arts?

2.How to tame your inner artist: what distinguishes Art/practice-based 
research from purely artistic practice?

3.How to navigate Interdisciplinary/transdisciplinary quagmires?

4.How to design an effective methodology?

5.How to balance theory, practice and reflective evaluation?

6.How to disseminate practice-based research?

7.How to evidence impact?

8.What are the ingredients of a successful training and support system 
for practice-based researchers?
