"To Phd or not to Phd ? : How to improve research based art practice"
Like scientists, artists are engaged in research activities. However research is carried out in different ways when comparing artists to scientists. During the last 20 years, a number of academic institutions have created PhDs in Art as well as a Practice Based Research Degrees. For a thorough report on this question, please refer to the one written by Professor Stuart Lain, University of Brighton ( http://www.it.bton.ac.uk/research/euindia/knowledgebase/brightonpg/laing.htm ). We would like to invite Yasminers to discuss the broader question of how research education in art should be designed today.

Hello Oguzhan
Actually I'm just plain Professor. Everything I know about doctorates
comes from supervising them - a classic example of the way we are
pulling ourselves up by our bootstraps, also illustrating the way that
the UK moves in a quicker and more risky way than other countries.
best wishes
Chris

The Gonzo Scientist
Can Scientists Dance?
John Bohannon
A series of reports on connections between science, culture, and the arts from Science Contributing Correspondent John Bohannon, who, in true gonzo style, will participate in the events he covers.
>>>>
No one quite knew what to expect as the lights came up on a pair of astrophysicists dressed as binary galaxies. To the tune of an old tango, Ruth Gruetzbauch stalked and twirled around Jesús Varela before surrendering to his supermassive gravity. The rowdy audience of scientists exploded with applause. The world's first Dance Your Ph.D. Contest, with Christoph Campregher at the controls of the sound system, was off to a good start.

2009 Dance Your PhD contest: Want to dance your own thesis? Stay tuned to www.johnbohannon.org/dance.html where a CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS will be announced soon. Rather than a localized contest, the next round will be global. Scientists will video their own dances and post them online (e.g., to YouTube). The prize? Negotiations are underway to have the winners' latest peer-reviewed publications interpreted by a professional dance company next year. Good luck and happy grooving.
