>I am writing to invite you to the above event, which will take place on
>Tuesday, 5 June 2001, at 10 Carlton House Terrace, London. The programme
>will start at 10.30am and finish at approximately 3.30pm, with lunch
>provided.
>
>This symposium is one of a series, covering all subject areas within the
>AHRB domain. These events are designed to provide a report on, and
>discussion of, the Board's activities, and detail some of the strategic and
>structural issues relating to research and postgraduate awards. The symposia
>offer an opportunity for us to consult with you on the ways in which we have
>approached such issues, and how they might be dealt with in future.
>
>The event will also allow consultation on some of the issues and ideas that
>the Board will be addressing over the next two to three years and provide us
>with feedback on the outcomes of AHRB activity and the impact that it has
>made in specific subject areas.
>
>A number of workshops will be incorporated into this event, to provide
>colleagues with the opportunity to consider key themes and issues. Senior
>officers and members of the Board will also be available for discussion.
>
>For reasons of space, we may have to limit the numbers attending the
>symposium, and we shall offer places on a 'first come, first served' basis.
>As organisations/HEIs will normally only have one or two delegates at the
>event, you may wish in preparation to consult with some of your colleagues
>on the issues indicated in the draft programme.
>
>Please fill in the attached pro-forma and return it to Ms Barbara Perks at
>our Bristol office (AHRB, Northavon House, Coldharbour Lane, Bristol BS16
>1QD) to let us know if you wish to attend this event. A charge of £40 per
>head (cheques in advance, made payable to the Arts and Humanities Research
>Board and sent to Barbara at the Bristol office) will be made. Replies by
>23 May 2001 would be appreciated.

>Subject domain of Panel 2: Visual Arts and Media: practice, history, theory
>This panel covers studies relating to contemporary practice, history or
>theory in art, design and media.
>
>Art and design may include: painting, public art, sculpture, performance,
>installation, time-based art, printmaking, photography, screen productions,
>virtual reality, multimedia, digital and interactive art and design,
>software design for visual artefacts, animation, illustration, graphic and
>communication design, art and design in the landscape, environmental and
>interior design, theatre design, exhibition and events design, fashion,
>textiles, jewellery and metalwork, ceramics, glass, automotive design,
>product and furniture design, art and design management, pedagogy in art and
>design, cultural, theoretical and historical studies (where this is
>principally contextual to contemporary practice and culture within art and
>design). The Board will also support research in architecture that concerns
>building design (but not structural or civil or other aspects of
>engineering)
>
>* Arts management research will be supported where there is a clear
>focus on the needs and requirements of the visual or media arts. (Support
>for such research may also be sought from the Arts Councils.) Alternatively,
>where the focus is on arts management within music and the performing arts,
>applications may be more appropriately directed to Panel 7. You should also
>bear in mind that the ESRC supports work on the socio-economic foundations
>and impact of the creative and cultural industries.
>
>History of art, architecture and design may include history of art,
>architecture, and design, in the widest chronological and geographical
>framework; theory and aesthetics of the visual arts; museology, museum
>studies, and conservation; history of film, photography, and visual media;
>together with work in cognate fields such as cultural and gender studies,
>archaeology, and anthropology, where these relate to, or are grouped with,
>study of the visual arts. In addition, it should be noted that
>
>* most applications in museology, curatorship and conservation should
>be directed to this panel, including those with a specific focus on museum
>design and display; where the focus is archaeological, they might be more
>appropriate for Panel 1. In some cases, Panel 4 or Panel 6 might be the most
>appropriate panel
>
>* applications in some aspects of cultural geography may be
>appropriately directed to this panel, covering matters such as the
>iconography and interpretation of the cultural landscape; cultural
>constructions of nature and environment; creative and imaginative aspects of
>geographical thought and practice, including the arts of mapping;
>relationships between space, place and cultural identity. In some cases,
>applications could be directed to Panel 4 (Medieval and Modern History). The
>Board does not, however, accept applications that are clearly
>anthropological in nature.
>
>Communication, cultural and media studies constitutes an area of study for
>which the AHRB shares responsibility with the ESRC. It includes:
>communication studies; cultural studies; film studies; and media studies.
>Study in these areas may fall within the domain of this panel, particularly
>where the focus is practice-based and on images. Other applications may be
>appropriately addressed to Panels 3, 5 or 7. Where the focus of the proposed
>work is on social or economic issues, applications may be more appropriately
>addressed to the ESRC.
