Articulating Practice-based and Practice-led Research

Where:- Room 349, Senate House, Malet Street, room 349, WC1E 7HU, London

When:- 10.00am – 17.00pm, 24th March 2026

Practice-based and practice-led research has become an increasingly significant

component of the Arts and Humanities, focused by the emphasis on creative

disciplines and partnerships within the AHRC’s doctoral training consortia. While

this has enriched the creative component of the Humanities and served to expand

academic horizons, it also poses some challenges. Where does this kind of work stand

in relation to established scholarly criteria for research, when it comes to examination,

publishing, or evaluation by research funders? How can the creative-critical hybrid of

practice-based and practice-led research best be accommodated in these frameworks,

and what is required for this work to flourish and succeed in academia?

This interactive workshop is designed to help doctoral students working on

practice-based and practice-led projects to understand the criteria for research applied

by UKRI and others, to stimulate discussion of the challenges involved, and provide

constructive exercises to help define, articulate and present the research dimension of

their work, developing vital skills for writing up and dissemination

As Josie’s sessions are quite small in capacity and very popular, and if you are unable to attend the session, please cancel your ticket to allow others on the waiting list to sign up

Please might participants provide a short outline (a title and a paragraph will do) describing their project before the session so Josie can better currate the activities?
