UoL Panel Session at the 2023 NCRM Research Methods e-Festival
Arts and Humanities Methods: An Interdisciplinary Primer
Date and time: November 8, 2023, 16:05-16:55
Registration: https://www.ncrm.ac.uk/training/RMeF2023/
Overview: This Q&A based discussion contributes to long-standing dialogues between the social sciences and the arts and humanities, providing a primer in the state of the art(s). The arts and humanities had to respond to a wave of digitalisation and demands to demonstrate impact far earlier than the social sciences. When it comes to methods, the response has been highly innovative and the panel will introduce and showcase work in arts methods (Kierans, Lybeck, Slocombe), digital humanities (Ashworth, Godfrey, Musi, Webb) and archival studies (Buchanan, Thomason) - areas which intersect with the social sciences but have methodological relevance across multiple research fields and link outwards to professional and institutional communities in the arts, design, heritage, government, architecture, medicine and more. The session offers an opportunity to explore resonances and will be of interest to all those seeking to expand their understanding of the methodological repertoires being developed beyond the disciplinary boundaries of the social sciences.
