Module overview
This module engages you in research and knowledge exchange projects, using interdisciplinary learning to embed the practice of collaboration within disciplines in WSA. This collaborative project module supports the University’s goal of enabling curiosity, engagement, entrepreneurial and responsible qualities to help you thrive in your future lives and work. The module enables creative collaboration around the concept, design, presentation, promotion and knowledge
exchange. The capacity for interdisciplinary, collective work is essential to develop new insights to address shared problems around life quality, sustainability and societal inclusion.
The module equips you to problem-solve and form collaborative ideas confidently and professionally, adopting experimental approaches in the Art School disciplines to realise creative responses and managed solutions. Project briefs will take advantage of the learning opportunities afforded by the campus and the local community, enterprise (WSA Exchange), material and social practices labs and digital environments. Thinking of the WSA diverse communities as a ‘living laboratory’ will engage you with learning about how to negotiate to work with others, build relationships, and communicate visually and verbally across disciplines and how this relates to your own discipline and practice.
