The Research ProjectThe Research Project
“Creative researchers work with imagination and insight, engaging knowledge of the histories of their field, as well as skills and technologies of practice as primary research tools. As they imagine, construct, read, write or perform, they work creatively with materials, technologies or bodies (abstract or physical), situating creative moments within the genealogies of practice, and revealing something about the world and themselves in the process. As they construct discourses of creativity
they are constructed by those same discourses” (Grierson & Brearley, 2009, p.18)
