Sixteen new proposals selected for funding by second round of DAS Research Development fund

Gepubliceerd op

In February 2022, DAS Research – the lectorate of the ATD – held the second round of an open call for small research development projects to be funded by DAS Research.

Forty-three applications were received – from teachers, tutors, BA and MA students and researchers - and were reviewed by the selection committee: Anthony Heidweiller, Laura Cull Ó Maoilearca, Liesbeth Koot and Marijn de Langen. Sixteen proposals were selected for funding.

The committee were overwhelmed by the quality of the proposals – particularly from the Bachelors students including cross-departmental collectives.

Here are just some of the beautiful and urgent questions being asked in the projects:

- How can sound and produce a language that acknowledges geological matter as a living and existing corporeality?
- How  can  we  stop  reproducing  the  hierarchical  patterns  that  the  capitalist hegemony  present in our society has engrained in each of us?
-Where do we find pleasure in our movement practices, research processes and educational activities? What can we learn from each other's relationship with pleasure? - How might exploring my family history through folk and myth stories help me inhabit the past, present and future at once?

We are delighted to announce the names of those who had projects funded:
