Training seminar: Practice and Participation. Methodological Challenges in Co-Creative Research
By Prof. Dr. Katrina McFerran (University of Melbourne). Moderation: Prof. Dr. Jos De Backer (LUCA School of Arts)
Beschrijving
In recent years, research has shown a clear shift toward participatory and co-creative approaches. This trend is also evident in artistic, clinical, and educational research, where the researcher’s own practice plays a direct epistemic role. Combining one’s own practice with a participatory approach brings a range of methodological challenges — such as continuously balancing the dual role of practitioner and researcher, making implicit knowledge explicit, and systematically integrating insights from multiple data sources and perspectives.
This research seminar explores these challenges in depth and offers concrete tools for applying them within one’s own research context.

Prof. Katrina McFerran is a leading scholar in Participatory Action Research (PAR). She is professor of music therapy at the University of Melbourne (Australia) and co-director of the National Music Therapy Research Unit. She is known for her work on amplifying young people’s voices through collaborative, creative processes. Her research often engages adolescents and marginalized communities as co-researchers, exploring how music-making and reflective dialogue can foster wellbeing, agency, and social change. McFerran’s research challenges traditional researcher–participant hierarchies, emphasizing shared ownership of knowledge and action. Through projects across schools, community programs, and health settings, she has demonstrated how PAR can empower participants to shape both the research agenda and their own lived realities.
