UCLIC Research Seminar Series

In this talk, I will discuss my experiences as a researcher and documentary-maker in various contexts. I will focus on projects I have been involved in that combine documentary and research in interesting ways, including my current research, which seeks to develop new ways of understanding design research through a multifaceted documentary project. I will frame the discussion around three approaches to documentary research: research into documentary (i.e. learning about documentary); research for documentary (i.e. developing tools, systems and processes to enable, support and advance documentary) and research through documentary (i.e. creating new knowledge through the processes of making documentaries).
