Most of my interview experience is clinical or forensic, so this will be different. Nevertheless, there are some well-established skills and practices that are transferrable. My practice is usually to take a semi-structured approach based on an understanding of the … Continue reading 3.2 Legacy Part Four – Artist Interviews
For this project, I would approach a service for adults with intellectual disabilities that I know from my previous job and from which I recruited participants to an NIHR Invention for Innovation funded research project involving the virtual world platform, … Continue reading Legacy 3.2 Part Three: collaboration, audience, and social media
Sites I have been thinking about the degree show increasingly as, despite advice that an exhibition isn’t obligatory, this seems to be the route most people take and, from particular experience, to make gains towards their eventual grade. The possibility … Continue reading Legacy 3.2 – Part Two: how your work meets the world
