This subject prepares Honours students in the Creative Arts to become highly skilled, independent researchers.

Creative practice as research will be foregrounded in seminar readings and class discussions. Students will explore ethical issues and ethics approval for research projects involving participants in interviews, surveys, focus groups and creative practice.
