Congratulations to Dr. Colleen Laird, Assistant Professor of Japanese Film, for receiving a SSHRC Connection Grant for “Reframing the Argument: Videographic Criticism as Graduate Research Practice” Collaboration!
SSHRC Connection Grants support events and outreach activities geared toward short-term, targeted knowledge mobilization initiatives in the social sciences and humanities.
“Reframing the Argument” is a collaboration between the University of Notre Dame, the University of British Columbia, and the University of Massachusetts Amherst. It is designed to establish and explore videographic practices for graduate students in support of building a globally and linguistically-diverse community of scholarly practice.
As a mentorship experience, the project advances scholarly and pedagogical practice by connecting established videographic scholars with graduate students. With a focus on videographic criticism as a methodology of scholarly research and knowledge production, “Reframing the Argument” offers training in advanced audiovisual rhetoric, video-editing skills, developing a scholarly argument, and using videographic methods to enhance and inform graduate-student theses and dissertations.
