April 2020: Due to COVID we have changed to an online format. See the revised programme.
Making Knowledge Methodology Seminars
In these seminars we explore experiences of research. We do this experientially and experimentally by working with our personal experiences of research. We engage and interact with the processes and results of our own research – and that of others. We emotionalize, sensitize, and intimize.
The underlying rationale is that carrying out research implies caring about research. It is a fundamental and necessary ethical stance to care about our own research and to have awareness of its potential societal impact.
If we don’t care, who will?
Experiencing research involves exploring the thinking, sensing and feeling that goes into the creative and analytical crafts of making knowledge. Some overlapping methodological themes, concepts and approaches that we engage with are: arts-based and artistic research, research creation, emotion as method, situated knowledges, ‘othered’ forms of knowing, bodily, nonverbal, rhetorical tactics, the fragment, and serendipity, as well as the psychophysiology of the interactions between the heart and brain.
Format
We will work towards generating a format, where we combine giving response to each other’s texts and doing creative work. We will make creative material throughout the seminars, to be gathered in one or more shared works for both academic and non-academic audiences. The default format for the seminar sessions is that everyone brings something as a response to the text of the day / At the seminar, we make a coherent assemblage out of the items / We document this co-created assemblage / We talk. The format is open for alterations and adjustments, if so desired by the participants.

Location
The default location is Experience Lab, in the basement of building 40. However, we may choose to work at other locations also, going semi-nomadic into RUCs ‘other’ spaces: gym, cinema, green areas, basements, bird-watching hammocks, kitchens. In alternative research experience ecologies, it may be interesting to explore alternative scenographies of knowledge.
You are welcome
