This core course focuses on methodological enquiry into art and Christianity through team-taught sessions by Divinity and Art History staff through organised research seminars. The course provides training and support for a small independent research project attached to this course but also the dissertation that concludes the programme.
The course offers students an opportunity to develop their own research questions in a supportive environment and to build on their own interests by taking on board their commitment to interdisciplinary dialogue. The history of interdisciplinary approaches to the past and present can form a platform for reflecting on its advantages and disadvantages in their own work. Students will be introduced to the many physical and digital resources available when addressing their area of interest and for their postgraduate degree more broadly. The aim of the course is to act as a platform in the making of independent and confident interdisciplinary researchers and to respond to students needs in tackling the bigger questions in their respective fields.
Information on contact teaching time is available from the course guide.
