The aim of this course is to introduce students to action research as a new humanistic methodology. Students will develop and answer research questions based on real world issues and challenges in culture. Students are encouraged to communicate and listen to the practical concerns of stakeholders outside the university, and to use theoretical perspectives to help explore alternative solutions.

This course uses action research to provide students with the opportunity to learn, share, and collaborate with cultural stakeholders in society. Action research often involves activism, participatory initiatives, a nuanced stance on ethics, and an embodied approach to political issues such as feminism and decolonisation. Students will work together with stakeholders to develop and discuss a research question based on challenges they have identified, and the student will answer this in the form of a report or a mini-publication (booklet) written for a non-specialist audience.
