About the Event
The 1st CCVA PhD Forum is designed as a unique UK-wide platform to support PhD students further, enhance intellectual exchanges of ideas and critical debates, expand participation of young generation scholars, and celebrate our achievement of up-to-date doctoral research, in response to the increase of doctoral projects in the field of Chinese arts, design, media, and visual culture.
As a summer event to complement our long-standing CCVA Annual Conference, the 1st CCVA PhD Forum aims to provide a unique space for all students within and beyond the UK, who are conducting doctoral research, and new PhDs (awarded within 12 months on 7 July 2023), as well as for supervisors, advisors, and examiners, and those who are interested in pursuing a PhD in the future, to share, debate and innovate.
The Centre for Chinese Visual Arts (CCVA) at Birmingham City University aims to foster new understandings and perspectives of Chinese contemporary arts, design and visual culture through interdisciplinary practices and theoretical studies. Following the 15-year success of our CCVA Annual Conference, which invites researchers, curators, artists, designers, and practitioners at all stages of their careers to share the latest research development on the theme proposed each year, we launch the First CCVA PhD Forum.
