DESCRIPTION:The process of undertaking a research degree is a challenging 
 endeavour in the most ideal circumstances.  Music and music education rese
 arch has traversed rough terrain in the recent past\, particularly since t
 he research agenda entered the conservatoire\, and measurement exercises b
 ecame commonplace. The advent of conversations about practice-led/as/based
 /led/centred research has opened up a new range of meanings for beginning 
 researchers that have complicated a field previously dominated by musicolo
 gy and music education scholars.  Beyond the definitional challenges\, the
 re lie a number of new methodological approaches to consider\, as well as 
 hitherto little-used forms of presentation and dissemination. These factor
 s conspire to make undertaking a research program even more exigent.\n\nUs
 ing a student life-cycle approach\, this presentation aims to provide stim
 ulus for discussion about the process of undertaking and supervising a res
 earch degree. From writing an initial proposal\, establishing a question\,
  framing a problem\, defining and searching the literature\, generating da
 ta\, analyzing the material\, discussing outcomes and providing conclusion
 s\, the complete process is scrutinized. Using findings from the project M
 usic Research Space\, the session provides approaches to each phase of the
  research degree process\, presented from the perspectives of institutions
 \, students and supervisors.  The data were gathered through an internatio
 nal survey of research students and supervisors\, and through dialogue for
 ums and interviews with stakeholders.   Themes to be explored include reso
 urces\, pedagogical approaches and the role of multi-exegetical formats\, 
 with a view to addressing the difficulties faced in navigating the new top
 ography of music research.\n\nThe seminar will consist of a provocation fo
 llowed by facilitated dialogue and discussion. \n\nScott Harrison is Deput
 y Director (Research) at Queensland Conservatorium\, Griffith University w
 here he lectures in music\, research methods and musical theatre. In 2010 
 he was the recipient of an Australian Award for Excellence in University T
 eaching and in 2012\, he became a National Teaching Fellow. His major rese
 arch areas are music and wellbeing\, pedagogy\, research training and masc
 ulinities. Scott’s blog is located at musicresearchspace.com.au\n
