WSA PhD Seminar Series, 19th February 2025 (Location: PGR Rooms and MS Teams)
This session is not just for researchers who wish to adopt and develop an Action Research approach, it is also for those who wish to understand and critique the work of others who research and seek solutions using Action Research. The session will explore the challenges of connecting research questions to feasible research designs. Set it that context and using examples from the worlds of design research and management research, it will outline the roots, purpose and processes of Action Research. Action Research is the approach being taken by David for his Practice Led Fine Art PhD, he will explain how that will unfold.
