Dear Martin,
Thanks for your question. The goal of a call for papers is to elicit response and debate from many positions and viewpoints. You can read the first five contributions for yourself. The introduction article that Jack Ox and I wrote will answer your question in part. You’ll find these articles here:

If you still find those two questions problematic, we’d welcome a paper in which you challenge our take on the issues.
The questions and issues that we raise in the call have a basis in fact and research. Nevertheless, none of these questions is universal, and we did not intend them to be.
My personal analysis of some widespread problems in doctoral programs in the creative arts and design appears in a book chapter titled “Now that we’re different, what’s still the same?” You can download it here:

This should answer your question on the factual basis for some of the problems noted in the call.
Yours,
Ken
