TO: Cheryl Platt ([log in to unmask])
BY: Friday 31 August 2007
Lunch, teas/coffees will be provided on both days but delegates will need to organise and pay for their accommodation.
The Manchester workshop will focus upon digital media and new media arts and invites current (or recently-completed) PhD students
to present their work.
Though there is considerable interest in ‘practice as research’, the AVPhD project is concerned with all approaches to PhDs
in the Audio-Visual media (broadly understood to cover everything from fine art and sonics to social anthropology using sound,
video/film as a means of investigation).
Speakers will include:
Charlie Gere, Reader in New Media and Director of Research in the Institute for Cultural Research at Lancaster University.
Andrea Zapp, researcher-practitioner and Route Leader for MA Media Arts at Manchester Metropolitan University
Proposed Workshops will focus upon:
● assessment (for examiners and supervisors)
● modes of writing in PaR PhDs
Attached is a programme for the workshop for your information.
