Description
[Applied] Foreign Affairs Integration offers pre-diploma students a framework to incorporate an experimental, transcultural, and transdisciplinary approach, drawing on the expertise of [A]FA to inform their thesis interests on methodological, thematic, and artistic levels. At the core lies an understanding of applied research.
The course outcome will be an individual collection of fragments of knowledge—developed in the format of a set of cards—serving as a backbone and repertoire for the content and argumentation of each student’s thesis project.
Individual meetings: Research, discussions, encounters, verbal presentations, and graphical documentation (digital & print).
Mid-term presentation: Each student presents work-in-progress individually, reviewed by the [applied] Foreign Affairs teaching team.
Final presentation: Group presentation/exhibition, where each student presents their work in a shared space/exhibit, reviewed by the [Applied] Foreign Affairs teaching team and invited guests.
