(REM1) Contemporary Vulnerabilities: Enacting and Exploring Vulnerable Moments in Research
This 90-minute workshop is an opportunity for graduate students, using the arts-based method of improvisation, to experience vulnerability in research and to be part of a larger, shared conversation about vulnerability in research.
The workshop will be led by scholars with expertise in improvisation and will provide mentorship and experiential learning opportunities, including interdisciplinary scholar and member of the International Institute for Critical Studies in Improvisation. The workshop will involve 2-3 skits or scenarios that will focus on examples of research dilemmas or situations. Participants will be invited into the ‘skit’ or ‘scenario,’ offering the opportunity to be in the moment of vulnerability/dilemma. After each skit, participants will debrief and collaboratively discuss what ethical/uncomfortable/challenging moments arose and different ways to respond.
Space is limited and applicants will be advised if they can be included by April 15, 2024.
