The postdoc researchers focus on the methodology of research in the arts. How do you do research into the practice of art and creativity? What results are actually produced? And how do the findings and results reinforce our education? Falk Hübner and Arja Veerman address questions like these, with support from the Taskforce for Applied Research (Regieorgaan SIA). This body strengthens the research capacity of universities of applied science.
Research project by Falk Hübner: Common Ground
Common Ground. Practice, philosophy and ethics of research at HKU is the title of the postdoc research project by Falk Hübner. The project has been set up through the Performative Creative Processes professorship, in collaboration with the schools HKU Utrechts Conservatorium and HKU Theatre, and the Art and Professionalisation professorship. On the basis of existing research methodologies at HKU, Falk Hübner is developing a shared framework for designing research.
He is designing a methodological model that provides opportunities for reflecting – based on a generic and shareable perspective (common ground) – on research strategy and the development of context-specific and project-specific methodologies. The model serves as a reference point when detailing and developing a research proposal, and while conducting research. The model can be used by other researchers, as well as students and research supervisors.
