Art Practice PhD, and what comes after (Practice Research in Print)
For this talk, Prof. Manghani will firstly outline some of the key elements of a recently published article, ‘Practice  PhD Toolkit’ (in Journal of Visual Art Practice). The article provides an account of the practice PhD in art and the nature of the debates surrounding its development and status. In helping to define the practice PhD, the article distinguishes between projects and practice and provides a reference to key debates. Following discussion of participants own work, the talk will move to steps after the practice PhD, with specific focus on getting published. Here, experience is drawn from two notable journals, Journal of Visual Art Practice, which has a 20 year history, and Theory, Culture & Society, which is currently celebrating its 40th year. Participants maybe be interest to read ‘Practice  PhD Toolkit’ ahead of the talk, which is available open access: https://doi.org/10.1080/14702029.2021.1988276
