Course Description

Summary

A synthesis of the program's coursework, Thesis Forms:  Thinking Partner is taken across two terms. Students propose, plan, discuss and develop a (research) thesis project.  They choose a thinking partner to work alongside for the term. With the graduate school model, the thinking partner will expect the student to take action rather than wait to be told what to do. The thesis project is two-part: an artist's book that includes both written and visual materials (across two terms) and a public sharing (research as action). The artist's book serves as the lasting record of work, process, research and ideas.  The criteria for the writing will vary by student.  The variety of approaches to the research reflects the variety of interests and intentions among the cohorts.  The Research as Action approaches are broad and interweaving with considerations of audiences and purposes.
