Whether you have a clear research direction or just some emerging ideas, we can help you shape, strengthen and refine a PhD proposal.
We generally offer feedback on your proposal and can meet with you to discuss the first draft if desired. We have many areas of expertise and specialism, and can support research in other areas as well. We also encourage practice-based PhDs.
Key areas of focus include:
These are all underpinned by an emphasis on digital technologies as a format for the production, dispersion and interpretation of art.
Other specialisms include:
In partnership with Zurich University of the Arts, we have developed a practice-based doctoral programme, the PhD in Practice in Curating.
This programme allows you to explore curating as a practice that is deeply involved in politics of display, politics of site, politics of translation and regimes of visibility. As well as writing a thesis, you will be assessed on practical research outputs such as exhibitions.
