ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book outlines the socio-cultural and political changes in Quebec that allowed for the integration of artistic creation into the university setting in the 1960s. It also outlines the musicology/research-creation programme profiles that offer at Universite Laval, probably the first of its kind at the master's and doctoral level. The book explains how students’ research-creation projects in the hopes that this could serve as the basis for comparing or inspiring research-creation projects. Research-creation projects can likewise borrow a variety of research methods, rather than concentrating on just one. Research-creation in music unfolds in a collaborative space in which researchers, researcher-creators and creators/practitioners work on a project together. The book concludes with a methodological and epistemological reflection on research-creation emphasizes the causal interaction of approaches and the value of collaboration.
