Some key notes from our first briefing workshop for the ARP unit:
– Select an issue in your practice (related to social/racial/climate justice)
– Action research is about thinking about your practice
– Not about changing the world, but small scale change (these changes do change the world!)
– Action research: ACT-OBSERVE–REFLECT–PLAN
– Action Research is doing a THING and SEEING what happens.
– It’s “a” thing not “the” thing
Potential ideas
– Ideas around the themes of the PgCert, my teaching, but also the relationship to industry, which is important for me.
– Specifically what could I do?
– Is it about creating a safe space for students to be brave in challenging the canon?
– Could students co-design the question?
– Student involvement
– Inclusivity work done by: Elliot Burns: Speculative design
