Special issue
The journal Art, Design and Communication in Higher Education will
publish a special issue on best practices in Ph.D. education for
design in November 2002.
We seek articles offering examples of best practice and models for
what should be done in developing the Ph.D. in design.
We invite submissions on topics on all aspects of doctoral education.
Suggested themes:
Supervision
Content of taught courses
Management of courses-by-research
Admission practice
Curriculum development
Program planning
Staffing needs
Resource allocation
Thesis requirements
Research methods requirements
Operational definitions of degree programs.
Budgeting
Research funding
Quality assurance
This issue will focus on exclusively the research doctorate. In most
cases, this is the degree titled Ph.D. We will not consider the
doctorate in professional practice (f.ex., D.Des.), the studio
doctorate (DFA, DCA), or the teaching doctorate (DA, Ed.D.)
We recognize that doctoral awards differ among nations and across
disciplines. We will consider articles on doctoral research degrees
with different titles as long as the award is a research degree with
a clearly defined research component.
The editors of the special issue are David Durling and Ken Friedman.
David Durling is director of the Advanced Research Institute at
Staffordshire University School of Art and Design. He is also chair
of the Design Research Society and editor of Design Research News.
Ken Friedman is Associate Professor of Leadership and Strategic
Design in the Department of Technology and Knowledge Management,
Norwegian School of Management. He is also Visiting Professor at
Staffordshire University.
Together, Durling and Friedman organized and chaired the
international conference on doctoral education in design in La
Clusaz, France.
