The Art of Research: 2nd and 3rd Cycle Degrees. Advancing Practice or What Happens Next?
Abstract
The presentation will be in two parts, firstly focusing upon the movement and distinction between 2nd and 3rd cycle awards within artistic institutions/academies. This will present possibilities and differences between the following modes of study: Master of Art (MA), Master of Fine Art (MFA), Doctorates (PhD), the potential of the Creator Doctus, post-doctoral research and artistic research. This part of the presentation will also open discussion around shared supervision and cross-institutional networks. The focus will oscillate between the professional orientation of some awards and the embedding of research as a mode of practice in its own right in others. In the second and final part of the talk I will briefly introduce my own artistic research, from the perspective of my own personal experiences of an MFA, a PhD and post-doctoral research, and what they have meant to the development of my own artistic practice and writing.
