> Dear Colleagues,
>
> A large number of people have already signed up for our online workshop on
> Practice-Led research in Art, Design and Architecture. If you have not
> done so yet you can join the workshop discussion list at (Jiscmail home
> page for the list). The discussion will come straight to your email and
> it will be moderated to avoid contributions that are too long or off-topic
> and to keep the "traffic" down to a manageable size.
>
> The workshop is intended to inform our review of practice-led research for
> the UK Arts and Humanities Research Council (but we are hoping to have an
> international debate). It wioll be archived for all of us to refer to in
> future on the JISCmail website and it will be reviewed in our public
> report.
>
> It will run over three weeks and will discuss three themes:
>
> Week 1.
> Relevance to Professions and Society
>
> We will invite you to discuss the direct and indirect ways that practice-
> led and other research in our disciplines affects the education and work
> of practitioners and identify other, wider contributions. One issue that
> we wish to understand is whether practice-led research in our subjects has
> a more immediate or different relevance when compared with other
> approaches.
>
> Week 2.
> Development & Impact of the PhD
>
> There is a good deal of material already on the nature of doctoral
> education in our subjects and its organisational and philosophical
> underpinnings. We will attend to the more practical question of how the
> growing number of doctors in our subjects is affecting education and
> practice.
>
> Week 3
> Themes & Characteristics of Practice-led Research In the final session we
> will ask contributors to describe the broad topics, methods and purposes
> of their research in terms that emphasise shared characteristics rather
> than individual ideas and interests.
>
> Overarching Theme
> Being an Academic
> Something that we would like to develop in the debate is the question of
> being an academic. Academics are not just teachers, they have a particular
> role in society that is well understood in many disciplines but perhaps
> not so clearly in ours where we often look to professional leaders to set
> the pace for our disciplines. Can we develop a better shared understanding
> of how a practitioner/researcher can play a part in the intellectual life
> of our communities?
>
> So please sign up now and we look forward to "meeting you" online. We will
> be circulating more information about how the workshop will operate at the
> end of this week.
