Mijn naam is Veerle Spronck. Ik werk als Associate Lector ‘Waarde(n)vol Ondernemen in en door de Kunsten’ bij HKU. Daar doe ik onderzoek naar de maatschappelijke waarde(n) van de kunsten. In de praktijk betekent dat dat ik transdisciplinaire artistieke onderzoeksprojecten leid, waarin kunstenaars, ontwerpers en onderzoekers zich samen buigen over maatschappelijke kwesties, zoals technologie, ecologie en ‘goede’ zorg. Met een achtergrond in kunstgeschiedenis, Science &amp; Technology Studies en artistic research ben ik vooral geïnteresseerd in onderzoeksmethodes die meebewegen met en goed luisteren naar de praktijk in kwestie. Onderzoek hoeft niet altijd te resulteren in een geschreven tekst. Soms past een tentoonstelling, een tekening of een reeks etudes beter. Naast mijn onderzoek geef ik les bij de HKU Bachelor Design for Change and Innovation, waar ik de Minor Creative Research for Change ontwikkelde en coördineer. Ook ben ik een van de makers van de podcast Kunstmatig, over kunst en technologie, waarin we alles bespreken van BioArt tot glitchbreien. &nbsp; https://veerlespronck.nl/Research Sun, 06 Mar 2022 16:55:27 +0000 Veerle Spronck https://veerlespronck.nl/Research Veerle Spronck Research Writing Speaking Teaching  Podcasting About  EN/NL In my research I am concerned with the societal and epistemological value of the arts. How can the arts contribute to social change? What kinds of knowledge are created in and through the arts? And how can the research methods from the arts inspire the sciences? I investigate what opaque themes such as ‘innovation’, ‘participation’, ‘digitalisation’, ‘impact’ and ‘transdisciplinary collaboration’ actually mean in practice and how they challenge existing ideas about artistic quality and knowledge.
