PhD Room / Group Rooms 4 + 5 (with Michael Hensel + Jérémie McGowan)

Experiment turns attention to the workings and potential of speculative enquiry, placing particular emphasis on the role and importance of the fictional in both generating and thinking through research. This pairing of seminars aims to specificallyisolate issues emerging out of contemporary understandings of and approaches to "practice-based research" / "research-by-design" methodologies, such as the crafting of prototypes and various associated options for the (re)presentation and integration of these within published academic work. Consideration is given to the international framework in which this type of work emerged and is carried out at present.
