Desk-based research guidelines

Word Count

  • The word count of the dissertation does not include the Reference List and Appendices.
  • Convention allows you up to 800 words on either side of the stipulated 8,000 words.
  • More or less, a penalty is applied or may constitute a fail.
Completion Schedule
  • The schedule for writing a dissertation is very demanding. If you miss a deadline you could find yourself in difficulties by the submission time. Be disciplined in your approach, write a research plan with time allocations.
  • Computer spell-checks should be used, but English spelling conventions must be maintained, rather than American. You will need to check that all words are correctly spelt and used eg. Have/of; practice/practise; there/their; our/are; won/one. Check that grammar and punctuation are correct.
  • It is not your supervisor’s responsibility to correct the final draft. Ask a friend to read it out loud to you and to comment on its coherence and content.
  • Never submit work for examination without reading it first. Read it out loud to yourself or ask a friend to proof-read. Mistakes are more easily identified by such practice. Do a final check from the last to first page – this is good proof-reading practice.
  • Keep a personal copy of all work submitted.

STRUCTURE OF THE DISSERTATION

This is a ‘model’ structure for Desk-based Education Research dissertations. Individual dissertations may vary in organisation only following negotiations between student and their supervisors. However, it is unlikely that a successful dissertation will deviate widely from this overall strategy.

 

Title Pages:
Front Cover

The front cover of your report must display:

  • The title of the project

(The title is important and, therefore, must be agreed with your supervisor.

  • The initial title should allow you to address one fundamental question and a minimum of three related ones.
  • The final title should be short, focused and invite attention)
  • The module code and title (ED6015: Education Studies)
  • Your Student ID
  • The Programme (BA Education Studies), the School (Cass School of Education and Communities) and the title of the University (University of East London)
Table of Contents
  • The titles of each section should be listed in chronological order and the page references provided.
  • Appendices are listed A, B, C etc., but pages do not have to be numbered.

Introduction/Purpose and Aims (Approximately 800 words)

  • This provides the reasons for the AREA of research, which you have selected. It should present the overall question which you set out to address.
  • The introduction provides a reference point for all subsequent writing and will be written mostly in the past tense, with occasional reference to the present.
  • It should be possible to read this section and to go straight to the Conclusion to gain a continuous understanding of the whole work and to be directed to different sections for additional information.
  • What do you want to find out and why (referenced to literature)?
  • Why did you choose this area for research (referenced to literature but also to personal experience if appropriate)?
  • How is your proposed research important; identify key issues and debates (referenced to literature)?
  • Briefly define specific terminology in relation to your research (referenced to literature)
  • What are the specific research questions?
 

Identify current policies and opportunities that may be outdated or ineffective, and provide your proposed plans for their revision and implementation.

Leaders must acknowledge and take responsibility for ensuring equality. Confronting gender-based issues when they occur within an organization is a must. Therefore, leaders must promote gender equity through promoting opportunities and approaches that challenge traditional gender-specific roles and responsibilities, as well as encourage women and men to broaden their personal expectations beyond the restraints of the gendered stereotypes within an organization’s culture.

Week 7 – Assignment: Prepare a Leadership Plan to Increase Gender Consciousness and Awareness.

Develop a comprehensive leadership plan that you believe, based on your research, will increase gender consciousness and awareness in your organization. In your plan, address the following:

  • Assess any existing advancement barriers, and then explain how you plan to overcome them.
  • Describe current and proposed retention plans.
  • Identify current policies and opportunities that may be outdated or ineffective, and provide your proposed plans for their revision and implementation.
  • Propose new initiatives, and then explain how you would implement them.

Support your plan with at least five scholarly resources. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources, including older articles, may be included.

Length: 5-7 pages, not including title and reference pages

Your plan should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course by providing new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards.

Develop a description of the typical skills, interventions, functions, and duties of the professionals involved in addressing the need.

/in /by

Your final paper should identify and analyze a specific need identified by a community. This includes:

Writing a mission statement for the agency you would create to respond to this need. Constructing an effective community organization model to address the identified need utilizing all the information you have researched in this course.
Conducting an external search using at least three to five journal articles, in addition to the textbook material, to create an adjunct referral sources list outside the agency for added support. View the “Conducting an Organizational Needs Assessment” YouTube video located in the Week 6 Overview (in the “Required Reference” section) to gain a clear understanding of the key components to needs assessment within an organization.
By utilizing the videos, the text, and a minimum of 3-5 peer-reviewed, scholarly journal articles, write a 4200 to 5250 word paper. Develop a model of an effective agency. Be sure to include these points:

Develop your mission statement by reviewing mission statements of similar agencies.
Develop a description of the typical skills, interventions, functions, and duties of the professionals involved in addressing the need.
Identify an established needs assessment tool to be used as enrollment criteria for potential service users.

What is a role of curator nowadays? Why does curating become a care?

/in /by

DISSERTATION STRUCTURE

Proposed Topic: Explain a social exclusion in a context of immigration in London and current situation. I would like to also consider a notion of care in the context of curating a diverse/immigration community in London.

London ‘as a global city has been a ‘contact zone’ (Pratt 1991) of multiple flows of people, cultures and ideas from around the world, and a ‘migration lab’ for academic research’.

Key definition – diversity, diverse community, culture, multiculturalism, foreigner, immigration, inequality, social exclusion, notion of otherness,

Curating as care – care for immigration.
Proposed Title: Curating as caring – Bridging borders through building a partnership between curators and immigration community
Research question

(Please make sure that you include an issue together with the topic and formulate this as a research question.

For further information of how to design a research question please see: Layder, D., 2012. Doing excellent small-scale research. London: Sage.

 

 What is a role of curator nowadays? Why does curating become a care?

How do curators respond to the multicultural community needs?

What is a multicultural community? How to curate a multicultural community?

What is a community impact of the socially engaged exhibitions? What are the consequences of the community approach to these exhibitions? And how do curators build a partnership with a multicultural community?

  • how to define a status of “curator”?
  • what are the motivations and aims/objectives that drive into curating projects with social concerns?
  • what are the strategies to attract a diverse public from different socio- economical environments to create the foundation for dialogue?
  • How to articulate the artistic language to communicate a clear message for including everyone in the conversation?
  • How to reach new and diverse audiences.
Proposed research paradigm

(Please make sure that you combine your individual research approach – how you interpret the world – with your research interest as reflected in your research  question)

For further information see research methods slides and Paquette, J. and Redaelli, E., 2015. On Paradigms: From Epistemology to Epistemic Cultures. In Arts Management and Cultural Policy Research (pp. 92-111). London: Palgrave Macmillan.

  

I will conduct my research within a contextual framework which sits in a postmodernist paradigm to consider the ethical and structural aspects of artists and curators’ participation in communities.

Refer to the meaning of curating, I will review existing relevant literature to figure out how other researchers have defined key terms such curating, community, socially engaged art in the contemporary studies. I will look at different definitions proposed by art critics, researchers, curators, artists and will compare critically and analytically. I will also try to identify the relationships between the terms explained by other theorists and I will apply the existing concepts in my dissertation research.
Proposed research methodology

Following on from your research paradigm, choose from the range of methodologies (e.g. ethnography, discourse analysis, constructionism, critical theory, post-feminism) that suits your interest/knowledge and helps you to answer your research question. What is the most suitable way to investigate your research questions? NB – Research methods slides offer a more detailed overview of which methodology corresponds to which paradigm.

 To investigate the research problems, I will focus a discourse analysis using relevant literature as main ‘objects of analysis which help me in understanding a context of art projects I will be focusing on. I am going to select few art projects organized by organizations such Tate Exchange, Counterpoints Arts and Migration Museum as a case study approach in my research.

I will refer to Michal Foucault’s theory on the deconstruction of knowledge and truth which introduces a narrative referred to as linguistic turn (Foucault 2019). The narrative describes an approach of participation and engagement in the community. On the other hand, Pierre Bourdieu’s concept of habits and cultural capital will help to define the meaning of working with the challenging community and building a relationship with them.

Referring to different sources, it will help to interpret a key characteristic for curating immigrant group to understand their needs.

 
What are the research methods you will apply collecting your data/information?

Please make sure that your research methods correspond with your paradigm and your methodology.

Please note that primary research methods (interviews [be they face-to-face, skype or email], questionnaires, surveys, focus groups) require consideration of ethical issues and completion and submission of an ethics form for approval.

 

 Using a discourse analysis, I mainly focus on texts. As a key point in a discussion on curating a diverse community is a workshop ‘Curating Community?’ ran by dr Alison Rooke that I believe it will help me in focusing on different aspects of community curating.

I am going to collect the information through analyzing different sources, but also observing and interviewing people who worked on the projects.

 

Referring to dr Rooke report (2013), it was noted that the curators of modern art are susceptible to hyper-exploitation. Their close collaboration with artists and members of the community can help them advocate for their value. Commonly, curators acknowledge the importance of affection from artists that they collaborate with or associate with. Some claim that curating careers depend on those of the artists. As a result, modern curators do not prefer themed group shows. Instead, they favour monographic exhibitions which, according to Rooke (2013), allow them to mobilize specific artists or art brands to attract funders and audiences. However, Obrist (2014) notes that such an approach can have a negative impact on an exhibition as curatorial formats can overshadow the work of the artists. I would like to bring different voices in a discussion on community curating and its role in a multicultural London.

 
What are the research methods you will apply analyzing your data/information?

What methods (comparing, deducting, coding) will work best to analyze your data? Are you using different coding methods (e.g. summative, emotive, value) to analyze your data?

(NB – Research methods slides offer further details on the choice of methods)

 

 I am planning to conduct a comparative study based on an analysis of socially engaged projects ran by chosen organizations such Tate Exchange, Counterpoints Arts and Migration Museum.

My role in the research study will be to challenge conventional habits of partnership by bringing a summative evaluation of analyzed projects. Through a comparative study I would like to emphasize collaboration between curators and the London community.

Focus on the theme of immigration/migration in selected art projects to see how these projects have been organized and curated.

Methodology
The student needs to demonstrate an awareness of the methodological tools in the form of documented process that contains procedures, definitions and explanations of techniques used to collect, store, analyze and present information. It may be that qualitative methods, including the analysis of interviews, are appropriate. Alternatively the student’s approach may involve forecasting or statistical, financial or econometric modelling. In other cases the student may be combining methodologies as his/her research is basically the analysis of the principles of methods, rules, and postulates employed by a discipline. Basically, the student needs to specify the approach he/she feels will be most appropriate.
Bibliography/ References
Please list down “works cited” within the framework of an enumerative bibliography — a list of references to key articles and texts. Verify each reference carefully; the references must correspond to the citations in the text. The list of references should start on a new page and be listed alphabetically by the last name of the author(s) and then by year, chronologically. Only the first author’s name is inverted. List all authors’ full names and avoid using et al. The name of each author and the title of the citation should be exactly as it appears in the original work.
Tables/Charts
Make sure all tables and charts are referenced in the text. Give each table and chart a title and number consecutive with the order it is mentioned in the text. Notes for tables and charts are independent of Notes in the rest of the paper and should be ordered using lowercase letters, beginning with the letter a (including the Source note, which should be listed first). The sequence runs from left to right, top to bottom. The order of the notes as they appear below the tables or charts are (1) Source, (2) general notes to the table or chart, if any and (3) letter notes.
Times scale/Research
Please follow the timetable on moodle. Since each student is encouraged to develop his/her own timescale the effort at the Assessor/ Faculty level is to subject them to
