The Qualitative Research Unit at Swansea Medical School, Swansea University,
invites you to attend:
Colloquium 2006
"Circles within Circles: Qualitative Methodology and the Arts:
The Researcher as Artist"
The starting point for this exciting two-day event is the idea that there is
an emerging 'edgelands' in qualitative enquiry - a space between established
and new methods where new approaches are being developed, new theories
examined and new ways of asking and answering questions formed that do not
conform to neatly regulated patterns of events or outcomes. The Colloquium
builds on the idea that there are links between New Qualitative
Methodologies and the Arts and explores what happens when researchers and
artists join together to present their work side by side, encouraging a
cross-fertilisation of applications and ideas. There will be presentations
from qualitative methodologists within the strands: narrative based,
arts-based and re-defined methodology, alongside presentations from fine
artists, musicians and performance artists. The Colloquium will concentrate
on two aspects of commonality: 'process' and 'representation'. Process,
because for artists and researchers alike, the central feature of their work
and their lives is the creative process, representation because an essential
consideration for both is how best to represent social reality - to
represent what has been discovered to others.
