Consisting of creative practitioners, practice-based researchers and scholars concerned with creative practices, the Creative Practices, Methods & Analysis research cluster is at the cutting edge of creativity at NTU. Expertise in the cluster is centred around creativity: whether by producing research-informed creative outputs, or by employing creative practices as a research method. The analysis of creative practices in historical, political and cultural contexts also forms a key part of what the research cluster excels at.

The research cluster defines creative practices in a broad sense, including for instance digital arts, photography, graphic novels, film, sound, performance, illustration and graphic design. Whilst such creative practices are frequently encountered in day-to-day life, their capacity to have wide-reaching political, social and even ideological effects remain under-researched. The research cluster is attentive to and highly knowledgeable of the effects that creative practices can have in our world today.

The cluster has an established track record for internationally leading research that challenges and expands upon traditional academic conventions. With creativity engrained in the way the cluster views, produces and disseminates research, interdisciplinary research is not just welcomed, it is actively encouraged. Consequently, the cluster has a very strong track record of collaboration with research partners in a wide range of disciplines including architecture, science, technology, humanities, social sciences, law, business as well as with industry.

The research cluster consolidates the wide range of internationally leading research in relation to creative practices at NTU. Staff situated within the cluster very much welcome enquiries from prospective PhD applicants. Building interdisciplinary collaboration across the University as well as with external partners is a key priority for the research cluster.
