Readings / Bibliography
What informs my work?
I've combined art history coursework with readings in qualitative interview techniques, art historiography, and practice-led research to develop a cross-disciplinary research methodology.
I draw from my knowledge of academic advising, digital media technologies, and art practice to bring a level of professional and creative expertise to the project. With feedback from my faculty and colleagues, I synthesize these learning experiences, approaches, and methods into the creation of a product (video) and the dissemination of an idea (art history is useful and practical beyond the academy or institution).
This bibliography is a work in progress and continues to be edited.

What is a hermeneutic phenomenological study?
Phenomenology research overview, from https://cirt.gcu.edu/research/developmentresources/research_ready/phenomenology/phen_overview
“...phenomenology can be defined as the direct investigation and description of phenomena as consciously experienced by people living those experiences. Phenomenological research is typically conducted through the use of in-depth interviews of small samples of participants. By studying the perspectives of multiple participants, a researcher can begin to make generalizations regarding what it is like to experience a certain phenomenon from the perspective of those that have lived the experience.”
