Artists with PhDs: On the New Doctoral Degree in Studio Art, chapter 11

This chapter is about the possible configurations of PhD programs: it includes ones that actually exist, and it attempts to sort out further possibilities. Most programs are compromises, and are therefore not as radical or as engaged with university-wide concerns as they might be.

Artists with PhDs: On the New Doctoral Degree in Studio Art, chapter 9
This is a chapter from a book that is forthcoming from New Academia Press, www.newacademia.com.
See the description with the opening material.
This chapter is about the two key concepts that underwrite the majority of existing studio-art PhD programs around the world: "research" and "new knowledge." I argue that neither one is appropriate or indispensable for the PhD in studio art, and that new programs should consider scrapping them and exploring alternates.

Artists with PhDs: On the New Doctoral Degree in Studio Art, opening
Artists with PhDs: On the New Doctoral Degree in Studio Art, opening
This is a chapter from a book that is forthcoming from New Academia Press, www.newacademia.com.
This is the first book on the new PhDs in studio art that is addressed to the North American academic system. It is intended as a comprehensive introduction to the subject, with chapters by a number of people who run such programs in Europe and elsewhere, and excerpts from studio art PhD dissertations. My own contributions are polemic -- not because I want to prevent the spread of such programs, but because I am wary of the administrative and theoretical discourse (really, jargon) that supports and justifies them in the U.K.
This file has the table of contents and preface. Two chapters from the book, and the Conclusion, are also posted on this page.
