Creative Arts in Action

The Creative Arts Research Training Academy (CARTA) supports Masters and PhD students who want to undertake research about the creative arts within our society. This can include projects founded in both creative practice methodologies and more ‘traditional’ and applied research methods. Projects may examine arts evaluation, creative arts within the regions, or employment and workforce implications for creatives. Alternatively, projects may intersect with broader areas like literary and cultural studies to investigate the creative arts within the national and/or international landscape. There are possibilities for these projects to intersect with the Central Queensland Regional Arts Services Network, of which CQU is the service provider. Students will join a lively and dynamic cohort of creative arts researchers across CQU’s campuses, who come together periodically for CARTA events and research intensives.
