I am undertaking a research project with two colleagues at this institution
(the Department of Media Arts at the University of Wales College Newport)
into the relationship between Theory and Practice in art and design higher
education, particularly focussing upon a range of photographically based
media (including some versions of multimedia). We are planning to explore
the range of models being used in a sample of institutions, their history
and theoretical basis, the kind of criteria used as the measure of the
relationship both within practical work (from the vocational to the
'critical practitioner') and within theoretical work (i.e. usually the
dissertation).
At this stage I am conducting a literature search for existing research in
the field, and I would be grateful for any leads towards work that others
have come across or know of. We would also be interested to contact anyone
else working in the area at present, or who shares our interest in the
subject.
