What is the point of research? What are the different approaches to research, and
how do we decide when to use them? What steps do researchers take in designing and
implementing a rigorous research project? How do researchers ensure that our ideas
are heard and understood by the right people? In this subject, students will consider
the practice, impact, and outcomes of academic research. Students will build on their
discipline-specific knowledge to answer these questions in the context of the Humanities,
Arts, and Social Sciences more broadly. The subject will build students' skills in
critical thinking, designing research, and developing as scholars.
Learning Outcomes
- critique existing research from a range of perspectives and a specific context;
- contextualise disciplinary approaches within the Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences;
- formulate a well-developed research question, aim(s), and/or hypothesis of an appropriate
scope for an Honours research project.
