Exploring creative pedagogies for research methods: Reflections from a workshop series

Abstract

This article describes a series of experimental method workshops that invite participants to enact speculative, craftful, multisensory and performative research techniques. The workshops have taken place across different European university venues with graduate students in a variety of disciplines such as digital humanities, sociology, design, media and art. Drawing on these experiences, the article argues that these workshops serve as an avenue for widening the repertoire of pedagogies for interdisciplinary qualitative inquiry through engagement with material, experiential and embodied ways of knowing. The article articulates the need to widen the repertoire of pedagogies for interdisciplinary qualitative inquiry.
