> PROGRAMME
>
> Increasing numbers of students are enrolling for PhDs in the moving
> image field and submitting practice-based outcomes of their research for
> examination. However, discussions with colleagues around the country
> suggest that departments are working with a number of different models of
> the relation between theory and practice, and with somewhat differing
> expectations about what is submissible.
>
> This symposium will offer a forum in which academic staff can share
> information and debate ideas about supervising and examining PhDs in the
> moving image practice area.
> The day is aimed at academic staff already involved in teaching and
> examining PhDs or interested in moving into this field. Whilst members of
> academic staff who are themselves doing PhDs are welcome, in the interests
> of focussed discussion this symposium is not open to full-time PhD
> students. We hope that a later symposium will be organised to address the
> issues from the students' point of view.
