PhD by Design conference at Leeds College of Art on 14th May




"The event was attended by 29 practice-based design PhD students and researchers from 18 different institutions where we explored different forms of dissemination for practice-based research. Through the day, we wanted to make space for tentative yet innovative ideas rather than gathering around polished knowledge and methods of dissemination. Everyone who attended, presented their work and contributed to the journal, creating a supportive environment for discussion and exploration."

I co-presented the Images in Practice Network that seeks to explore ways to publish and share practice based research for future researchers. I presented an account of how I've digitised my own practice based PhD exploiting freely available technologies and current social networking sites.
