A foundational guide to practice-related research in the arts.
R. Lyle Skains has created a textbook to guide students who wish to incorporate creative practice into their research theses.
Split into two parts, the book first gives you the background and context of the practice-related research, the types of knowledge it can yield and other research methods that can be integrated into practice-based research projects. The second part focuses on the practical considerations and actions you need to take to complete your project.
Definitions and contextualization of practice-based methods lead to a step-by-step approach to designing research projects, with practical guidance and examples of practice-related research. All supported by exercises for progressing methods design and evaluating research approach.
Aimed primarily at upper graduates and Master's students, the methods and techniques are applicable to any practice-based research project at any level.
