Are we any good at it: Using risk as a tool for reflection and critical enquiry: Report of research in progress

Typically, risk is a difficult idea to communicate to undergraduates as it requires a conceptual engagement with a project’s process. Without the experience of several project iterations it is difficult for students to see the value such a tool can bring to their work. The article will look at the use of ‘risk’ in relation to promoting deeper reflection and critical enquiry by student groups engaged in media practice project work. It will offer a model for best practice that has emerged from the author’s own action research into the topic and present for discussion a range of emergent insights.
