The Experiential Knowledge Conference 2007:
NEW KNOWLEDGE IN THE CREATIVE DISCIPLINES
Date: Friday 29 June 2007


ANNOUNCEMENT:  

WE ARE PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE THE PROGRAMME FOR THE
EXPERIENTIAL KNOWLEDGE CONFERENCE 2007!

Late-REGISTRATION ENDS 15 June 2007!


The Experiential Knowledge Conference 2007, which will
be held on 29th of June 2007 at the University of
Hertfordshire. EKC2007 will address the theme of “New
Knowledge in the Creative Disciplines” and explore
what is understood as (new) knowledge in research and
creative practice, and what role it plays in defining
the research agenda.  

EKC 2007 has received a great international response
and thus promises to offer challenging multi-vocal
debates around the conference theme, and to facilitate
exchange and cross-fertilization between the creative
disciplines and other practice-led disciplines such as
education and knowledge management.
