   Enhance academic and practical understanding of key social issue within Singapore. Obtain sufficient knowledge about these issues to engage in design thinking exercises that generate practical and innovative ideas designed to address these problems.

2. Disciplinary Knowledge:
   Critically evaluate specific social issues through the lens through several social science disciplines, including sociology, political science and psychology.

3. Critical Thinking:
   Apply design thinking methodology to generate and refine innovative and practical approaches that can address specific problems.

4. Intercultural Understanding and Thinking:
   To understand how different cultures experience specific problems differently. To display cultural understanding in designing solutions.

5. Communication:
   To hone the skill of presenting innovative ideas to experts clearly and engagingly. To learn how to write a grant proposal.

Students enrolled in ACM005 will design and develop a scholarly research project that critically analyses an issue within the field of arts management, as approved by the course coordinator. The research should ideally incorporate primary research and theoretical inquiry, so as to enable each student to develop a specialised understanding and knowledge of a particular area of arts management.

On successful completion of this project, students should be able to:

‣ Demonstrate an advanced understanding and knowledge of a specialised area in arts management, as well as be able to contextualise that area within current research, debates, policies and practices in the arts and associated cultural and creative industries

‣ Assemble and author a unique and independent research project from inception to development to completion

‣ Construct an argument relating to a specific area in arts management

‣ Apply multidisciplinary and inter-disciplinary arts management theories and evidence-based research

This course is designed to explore knowledge in various disciplines.

The goals for this class are threefold:
1. Absorb knowledge from social issues presented by invited speakers
2. Foster confidence in disseminating information and interacting with speakers during the
knowledge communication process
3. Use the knowledge you acquire in this class to identify critical societal issues and offer
solutions using a multi-disciplinary approach

Students will develop policy recommendations in one of two areas that Lalamove can reference in its future discussion/interaction with regulators. One area consists of three thematic pillars that characterize platform work: inclusion, accessibility, and economy. The second area concerns input for government policies on insurance, CPF, and representation.

Specifically, the course has aims to provide students with:
• Opportunities to work with community partners and experts to understand the problems faced by vulnerable groups
• Apply their social science education to resolving real-life problems
• Have an opportunity to make a positive impact in the context of Singapore

By the end of this course, students will be able to:
• Understand the complex issues surrounding the experiences of migrant workers in Singapore
• Conduct a document analysis and key informant interviews in making sense of a particular
social problem.
• Reflect on how one’s social location shapes personal perspectives on particular social issues
• Present research findings to peers and partner client

At the end of the course, students  

1. Will be able to explain what constitutes interdisciplinarity and what justifies interdisciplinary perspectives and methods
2. Will have applied what they have learned to a real world problem
3. Will be able to evaluate the benefits of interdisciplinary education and research and obstacles to be overcome in interdisciplinary pursuits
