Seminar III: Situations of Research\u00a0<\/i><\/b>(Autumn 2014)<\/p>\n
Seminar III considers how we might ‘situate’ research, whether in the context of a conference presentation, in print and\/or through exhibition and design. Building on preceding seminars, a range of practices are revisited, including reading, writing, critical thinking, fieldwork and art practice, each of which\u00a0need to cohere in order to produce high-quality, original research. The seminars will also be an opportunity to develop a new collaborative project under the working title of\u00a0Situations of Writing<\/em>.<\/p>\n Wednesday 8 October \u00a0(1-3pm) Wednesday 15 October\u00a0(11am-1pm) Wednesday 22 October Wednesday 29 October _______________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n Tuesday 4 November \u00a0– British Library, London (3.30 – 5pm) Wednesday 5 November – \u00a0Walton Suite, Guildhall, Winchester (8.30am – 5pm) Thursday & Friday 6\/7 November\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Walton Suite, Guildhall, Winchester _______________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n Tuesday\u00a011 November (4pm) – Westside Lecture Theatre Thursday 13 November (12 – 5pm)<\/strong> _______________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Monday 17 November (1-3pm) <\/p>\n Wednesday 26 November (1-3pm) +\u00a0WSA Seminar, 4-6pm:\u00a0<\/strong>Jennifer Pybus: Big Social Data (MA Common Room, #3032)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Wednesday 10 December<\/strong> <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Seminar III: Situations of Research\u00a0(Autumn 2014) Seminar III considers how we might ‘situate’ research, whether in the context of a conference presentation, in print and\/or through exhibition and design.
