Again key themes will be the kinds of knowledge created by research and how they can best be represented. The selection of participants is designed to give insights across discipline boundaries. We are very fortunate to have leading the speakers Prof. Chris Rust, co-author of the important AHRC Review of Practice-Led Research 2007, who is widely published on themes of tacit knowledge and the nature of design. Dr. Mine Dogantan-Dack will consider practice-as-research in music performance. An internationally respected musician, she has recently directed an AHRC project, Alchemy, rooted in rehearsal and performance with the Marmara Trio. Dr. Anna Milsom completed her PhD in translation at Middlesex University with a highly innovative multimedia approach to representing her research knowledge. Dr. Catherine Hill continues our theme from a previous seminar, considering professional doctorates as well as the PhD. She has a particular interest in enquiry which occurs in and for advanced level practice and which has effective action rather than published output as its main aim. Dr. Kristina Niedderrer offers us a framework for the relationship between research methods, knowledge, and that so-tricky concept, rigour. Dr Nick Bryan- Kinns researches collaboration, engagement, and the design process. He has particular insights to offer in interdisciplinary studies, such as PhDs which veer towards the arts but which are located and examined in a science and engineering faculty, and is contributor to a major EPSRC Doctoral Training Centre. ----------------------------------- The speakers ----------------------------------- Prof. Chris Rust Professor of Design Director, Sheffield Institute of Arts Head of Art and Design Department Sheffield Hallam University Dr. Mine Dogantan-Dack Research Fellow Chair of Music Research Group Music Department Middlesex University Dr. Anna Milsom Senior Lecturer in Applied Translation London Metropolitan University Dr. Kristina Niedderrer Reader in Design and Applied Arts Chair of Material Design and Applied Art Research Group School of Art and Design University of Wolverhampton Dr. Catherine Hill Programme leader, Professional Doctorate Centre for Health and Social Care Research Sheffield Hallam University Dr. Nick Bryan-Kinns Centre for Digital Music and IMC Research Group School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science, Queen Mary, University of London The series is led by Prof. Richard Andrews at the Institute of Education.
