What we want to achieve
The professorship has two goals:- To reinforce the investigative skills of professionals in all sorts of practices, by stimulating making, performing and narrating in their professional activities.
- To use creative interventions in breaking down set ways of working.
Research into merging art and science
The professorship is inspired by the myth of the muses to give new shape to critical reflection and to involve creative processes in the way research is conducted.
We are concerned with research questions like:
- What is the role of the artist in social questions?
- How can the lecturer use his or her own makership in teaching?
- How can professionals and teams improve collaboration through creating together?
How we work
We break down the divisions between learning, researching, changing and creating, and develop new ways of working for this purpose, such as changing tack, the art of questioning, theatrical dialogue and work in progress.Our partners

Musework
We organise a workplace where we conduct action research into practical questions from professionals, by researchers putting themselves on the line, working on co-creations, and developing and publishing new forms of knowledge. We call this making personally, making together, making knowledge and making public. We work with the research platform Musework.View our work at musework.nl
