Fundamentals of Practice-Based Research and Research-Creation EPUB file

This is the EPUB file of the book 'Fundamentals of Practice-Based Research and Research-Creation' by David Gauntlett, suitable for Kobo and all other eReaders.

Practice-based research means exploring research questions through creative practice. Also known as ‘research-creation’, it is a process of making, doing and thinking, to explore ideas, identities and experiences.

This book offers a clear explanation of how practice-based research makes sense as a method, and explores how to develop, make, and present projects effectively. It features inspiring examples, including the work of Indigenous fashion creator Justine Woods, and Black bio-art activist Ashley Jane Lewis, as well as cases where drawing, performance, sound, and music technology are used to explore Black history, migration and social justice.

Practice-based research is a journey on which we gather a basket of processes, experiments and experiences, so we can foreground complex realities, gentleness, and lived experience.

David Gauntlett is Canada Research Chair in Creative Practice at The Creative School, Toronto Metropolitan University, Canada, and the author of 10 previous books including Making is Connecting (2018) and Creativity (2022).
