Creative Arts and Media Honours Thesis B FSX405
Introduction
In this unit, you will concentrate on completing the research-led or practice-led project that you commenced in FSX404 Creative Arts and Media Honours Thesis A. A research-led project will build on empirical or theoretical investigations undertaken over the course of the semester drawing from a range of theories and methods in your discipline to produce original knowledge. Curiosity with how your discipline and the topic of your study informs and is informed by wider social, political, technological and/or cultural processes is encouraged, as are projects that are interdisciplinary or industry-focused. A practice-led project should produce a body of work and written documentation based on your own line of speculative self-directed research and building on your contextual, theoretical, material practice and/or industry-based investigations undertaken over the course of the semester.
