Playful research methods
Playful research methods – Playfields workshop
This workshop explores the potential and practices of playful research through a practical intervention: a ‘playtest’ of a tool for playful fieldwork. Under the name Playfields, we are currently developing a prototype mobile app that facilitates play-based fieldwork and research for students. It puts into use emergent ideas around open, imaginative, performative and mobile methods. It also enrolls new digital technology and the playful potential of maps in a unique creative learning and research experience.
We invite staff and students with an interest in maps, games and creative approaches to methods to join us for this event. The workshop will consist of an introduction to playful research, an ideas-swap session and a playtest (which includes an outdoor activity). It will be a chance for participants to get acquainted with new creative methods and get inspiration for their own work.
