Faculty of Arts Signature Areas
In 2018, the Faculty of Arts launched a process for identifying and promoting up to seven Signature Areas of Research and Creative Collaboration. The Arts Signature Areas provide a mechanism for building research networks, facilitating collaboration, advancing cross-disciplinary research and creative activities, and enabling related teaching innovations. Each of the Faculty's signature areas will be supported for five years.
Shifting Praxis in Artistic Research/Research-Creation
"Shifting Praxis in Artistic Research/Research-Creation" champions and supports an approach to knowledge that crosses traditional lines between practice and theory and situates the artistic process at the heart of the research and publication strategy.
