    The course explores contemporary practices on artistic and arts-based research, setting the students own research projects as starting points.

We explore the different historical backgrounds, and contemporary discourses around artistic, arts-based and practice-based research, also engaging with their critique. The examples come from international academic and arts publications, and transdisciplinary publications from other fields than arts, and through the many visitors of the class.
