1. Course Opportunity
HONS 3010H: Introduction to Research in the Arts
Instructor: Mark Callahan, Artistic Director, Ideas for Creative Exploration (ICE)
Wednesdays, 1:25-2:15 PM
The Introduction to Research in the Arts seminar provides an overview of arts research, presents
methodological models for sustaining research-based creative practice, and acts as a workshop for
project development. The seminar will examine conventional and emerging forms of arts research,
ranging from historical and critical studies to project-based works that address newer media and
interdisciplinary approaches. Students will visit various areas of campus to become familiar with
performance and exhibition resources at UGA and meet leading faculty and professionals who are
conducting research in the Departments of Art, Dance, Theatre & Film Studies, English, Music, and
ICE (Ideas for Creative Exploration). Students will be exposed to a range of models for creative
practice based on visits with faculty, outside reading, and discussion.
Gateway Seminars are offered each Spring semester for one-credit-hour, graded A-F, and are
available to all students. Access must be obtained through the CURO Office. Please call 706-542-
4053 or email Matt Jordan ([log in to unmask]) for access.
