Leverhulme International Network: Evaluating Methods of Aesthetic Enquiry Across Disciplines (External organisation)

Activity: Membership typesMembership in research network

Description

This Network will evaluate contrasting methods of aesthetic enquiry across disciplines. Using case studies, scholars with different views on the ‘aesthetic’ and diverse and complementary sets of expertise, will seek to identify nodes of congruence/conflict in aesthetic enquiry across disciplines in Humanities, Social Sciences and Cognitive Sciences. Through assessing disciplinary strengths and weaknesses and delineating intersecting research questions and fields of enquiry, we shall generate new dialogues and propose productive strategies for transdisciplinary enquiry. Moreover, aesthetics has been framed in Western contexts and we will seek to work across cultural as well as disciplinary boundaries
