Tricksters and Mindful Heresy: Disrupting the Taken for Granted in Creative Research

This cluster interrogates the notion of creative activity as a form of research method in the arts and humanities. Creatively oriented, or “artistic” research, disrupts taken-for-granted notions of methodological order and efficacy. The notions of "Tricksters and Mindful Heresy"  provide the starting point for a critical examination of the orthodoxy of method and the disruption of its taken-for-granted (dis)orderings of creative inquiry. With scholar-artists, the cluster will work together to articulate the way its work disrupts, creates, and substantively investigates the issues confronting our world today.
