Creative Methods Lab – using creative methodologies to answer affective questions
Lea Baro, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Sozialwissenschaften
Contents
This Research Group offers an innovative exploration into the representation of diverse intersectional identities using creative methodologies. Students will learn about arts-based methods and get the space to explore them further through their own project surrounding affect and representation. This course aims to provide new methodological skills, fostering a deeper understanding of how creative practices can enhance social scientific inquiry within the thematic framework of representation. Through hands-on projects, students will learn to use artistic practices to uncover and express complex social dynamics that traditional methods might overlook. The curriculum includes foundational readings, practical applications, ethical considerations, and project development. Students will work in groups to develop ideas, conduct fieldwork, and analyze creative data. Targeted towards social sciences students with an interest in qualitative research, this course is designed for master’s and advanced bachelor students. While experience in creative practices is beneficial, the key requirement is a motivation to explore collaboratively.
