If research is the advancement of knowledge, and if PhDs are awarded for an original contribution to knowledge and/or its interpretation, what do we mean by knowledge in art and design? What characteristics must it have so that it can make a contribution to the discipline that is accepted by academics and practitioners? If we reject Positivist notions of objective knowledge or tacit implications of truth, with what do we replace them? Keynote speakers: Prof Norma Starszakowna (The London Institute, UK) Chair of the HEFCE Research Assessment Panel for Art and Design, and Member of the AHRB Research Board 1998-00. Andrew Harrison (University of Bristol, UK) Author of "Making and Thinking, a Study of Intelligent Activities" (1978), "Philosophy and the Visual Arts, Seeing and Abstracting" (1987) and "Philosophy and the Arts, Seeing and Believing" (1997).
