In this workshop for PhD, graduate students and early-career researchers, we explore different approaches to creative research methods and practices. These methods — such as ethnography, creative practice research and research creation — can be transferred to different topics.

Distinguished Professor Larissa Hjorth (RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia) will invite us to consider creative practice ethnography and how arts-based methods can participants to tap into tacit emotions and feelings.
Professor Kim Sawchuk (Concordia University, Montreal, Canada) will explore how policy contributions and interventions can shape the public agenda via knowledge circulation.
Professor Mireia Fernández-Ardèvol (Universitat Oberta de Catalunya, Barcelona) will discuss the need for critical assessments of data, databases and their derived results to avoid producing and reproducing biases.
