Course Structure/Why such a course?
The course's structure will follow a practice based approach whereby you will be taken through all the steps that go into writing a theoretical text in the field of artistic/creative practice. You will progress week by week, starting by defining and narrowing the subject that you wish to write upon, learning how to structure a paper, getting a grasp on how to conduct research and literature reviews; ending with a full, referenced academic text of 5000+ words that follows the requisite standards, and that is also accompanied by a visual presentation that demonstrates the contents of your text. What is important to know is that this text will not be your thesis. Instead it will become an independent paper that you should feel confident enough about to submit to an academic, peer reviewed journal as an article.
