This PhD student workshop with Rob Kitchin (Professor in the Social Sciences Institute, Maynooth University) provides an overview of the use of arts-based methods for undertaking research on the relationship between digital technologies and society. It introduces the epistemology and methodology of research-creation, and the creative writing, artistic methods and creative data stories it may entail. It also covers some of the ways in which research undertaken using traditional social science methods can be disseminated using creative non-fiction and fiction, film and exhibitions, and closes by noting some critiques of arts-based approaches. Students will gain knowledge of creative social science research design and practice.
