ARTL 5750 - Research Methodologies

3 credit hours
This course provides students with an opportunity to actively contribute to a growing research project on the regional Seattle arts sector, and to build research skills for their own work, including their Summary Project. An overview of research methods is integrated with skills to research, document, and analyze the evolution of the arts ecosystem since the 1962 World’s Fair. Students undertake primary (original) and secondary research, defining research questions and developing skills such as interview protocols and case studies. The lived experiences of regional arts leaders as well as archives and reference materials are used by students to create new entries for the Arts Ecosystem Research Project (AERP) website and digital repository, a scholarly and community resource.
