The JAR Network section, reflections and reviews on Artistic Research

The Journal for Artistic Research (JAR) is an international, online, open-access and peer-reviewed journal that disseminates artistic research from all disciplines. In its peer-reviewed section, it seeks to promote expositions, which aim to engage practice and demonstrate research.

In addition to this, the Network section is a non-peer-reviewed space on the JAR website for discussion, reviews and opinion pieces relevant to artistic research and JAR’s community. It features reflections and book reviews.

Portal Partners’ Thematic Seminars

Monday 24.02 – 13:00-15:00 CET

 

RC for Teaching, Learning and Examination Purposes

 

All portal partners have the option to operate both a public and an internal portal on the RC. In this seminar we will present how some of our portal partners use the internal portal for teaching, learning and examination purposes, how expositions can be used for presenting outcomes of such activities to the international artistic research environment as well as how these activities can be managed by your local portal admin – including options for archiving of expositions delivered for examination purposes. There will be inputs from NMH-Norwegian Academy of Music and Fontys Academy of the Arts among others.

 

Check out NMH’s and Fontys’ Portals on The Research Catalogue.

 

All portal partners are invited to this seminar.
