"To Phd or not to Phd ? : How to improve research based art practice"
Like scientists, artists are engaged in research activities. However
research is carried out in different ways when comparing artists to
scientists. During the last 20 years, a number of academic
institutions have created PhDs in Art as well as a Practice Based
Research Degrees. For a thorough report on this question, please
refer to the one written by Professor Stuart Lain, University of
Brighton (http://www.it.bton.ac.uk/research/euindia/knowledgebase/
brightonpg/laing.htm).
We would like to invite Yasminers to discuss the broader question of
how research education in art should be designed today. Respodents
will include:
Dr.Ken Friedman, PhD in Design Norwegian School of Management
Dr. Kristina Niedderer. Silversmith and designer as well as an expert
on the relation between arts practice and research training. Her
current research focuses on experiential knowledge.
Dr. Deirdre Barron from Swinburne University research coordinator at
Swinburne University Faculty of Design. She is currently writing a
book on doctoral education in design, and together with her research
group, she is doing a massive review of the literature to date.
