Making Knowledge? The relationship between practice and research
in craft and design
Thursday 24th - Friday 25th June 2004
Manchester Metropolitan University Geoffrey Manton Building
Rosamond Street West Off Oxford Road Manchester M15 6LL
The nature of the relationship between practice, research and
creativity is a complex subject that is generating debate both
nationally and at the local level of individual higher education
institutions, particularly in relation to the RAE and AHRB.
This symposium will bring together representatives of some of
the key roles and bodies within the field of craft and design
research to explore issues that are crucial to the development
of a strong and sustainable research culture in this area.
