The supervised research paper will identify and critically reflect on an issue persuasively presented as relevant to the candidate's major project. The key task of the research paper is to demonstrate that candidate comprehends their situation as a cultural producer within an artistic field of comparable activity. The research paper demonstrates the candidate’s capacity for refined investigation that can critically address contemporary contexts of production, as well as identify thematic, political and historical issues that pertain to the major creative project. Students are expected to present aspects of their research to their peers and produce a 5,000 - 7,000 word research paper for examination at the completion of the year.
