ALL MAPS WELCOME

DOCTORAL RESEARCH BEYOND READING AND WRITING

ALL MAPS WELCOME 1
This conference, held on March 19 (2008), was set up to explore the ways in which PhDs may change with the growth of practice-led research. With widespread interest in ‘new variant’ doctorates (the kinds of postgraduate developments described by writers such as Chris Parks at Lancaster University) and the Arts and Humanities Research Council promoting projects that move ‘beyond text’, it is an opportune moment to discuss the role of materiality (material culture, plastic arts, etc.) and performativity (music, theatre, exhibition-going) in research that is, in good part, realised through non-textual forms of communication.

‘All Maps Welcome’ was supported by research training funding from the AHRC with the aim of generating debate in a wider range of disciplines than those immediately associated with the creative arts.

Dear all,

Thank you very much for all your enthusiasm and interest in our conference ALL MAPS WELCOME. Since then, we’ve received many inquiries and encouraging feedback.
There is coverage from The Times Education Magazine to be accessed via the link on the right.

To carry on this momentum, we would like to invite you to join our PhD Wednesday sessions. These regular informal meetings are open to all practice-led researchers to provide an opportunity to meet, discuss, present and engage with current issues in and around new variant doctoral methodologies. The sessions reflect the flexible “All Maps Welcome” approach and aim to generate creative exercises for thesis writing and the development of sound research arguments.

Some weekend workshops are also planned.

Time: 11am
Venue: 211 Squire Building, Northumbria University, Newcastle upon Tyne
