Doing and Communicating Research with Creative Methods brings together doctoral and Master’s researchers from across the EUGLOH alliance for a week in Tromsø to learn from one another.
Welcome to a space for interdisciplinary Arctic research. This workshop’s flexible format combines an online preparatory seminar, on-site workshop days in Tromsø and a dedicated day for producing a publication.
The aim of the workshop is to foster creative methods in Arctic research, education and communication. We want to give students the opportunity to understand how creative methods from the humanities can inform practice across the arts and sciences through exploration, experimentation and failure.
The course is anchored in UiT’s ongoing work at the Centre for Arctic Humanities and has been developed in dialogue with UiT's EUGLOH team. The programme has been designed with contributions from Craft Lab, EnvPhil, ArcArc, EnvHum, SAMFORSK, CNN and the University Kitchen Garden at UiT The Arctic University of Norway. Workshops will serve as a testbed for the co-creation of interdisciplinary projects grounded in the participants’ own ideas. By the end of the course, students will publish their collaborative work through a new UiT publication channel, Septentrio Creative.
The course builds on methods developed during the blended intensive programme, Integrating Co-creativity into Research, Education and Science Communication, and connects to UArctic Congress Session 6, Creating and Communicating Arctic ArtScience, organised by the UArctic Thematic Network on Environmental Humanities.
Key competencies and forms of knowledge developed through the activity include co-creative methods, critical thinking, knowledge into action, social impact, Indigenous knowledges and storytelling.
