Arts-Based Research (ABR)

ABR offers a broad range of possibilities to do qualitative research in a context of social injustice.

By showing a theoretical framework and many examples of ABR-projects, students get familiar with practice-based research from an ABR-perspective.

This involves data collection, analysis and communication.

Students participate in a small scale ABR-project, to learn to combine arts and science.

There is space and possibility for personal interests and projects.

Co-design

Co-design offers an understanding of experential learning, which we apply to the context of inclusion and participation.

Concepts and methods of co-design are explained and practiced in this course and in a concrete case.

There is space and possibility for personal interests and projects.

There are no prerequisites for this course.
