Creative PhD Research Seminar
Tuesday 18 May, 6-8pm
How can a performance or a painting be research? How can a studio become a laboratory? How can creative practice emerge in a PhD?
In this enlightening seminar, leading creative practice researchers from The University of Auckland will reflect on how art and academia can combine to contribute new knowledge. This introduces The University of Auckland’s approach to guiding creative practice PhD research.
