Introduction This handbook is a guide to courses and opportunities available to all research degree students at the University of the Arts, London. It incorporates The Researcher’s Guide to Library and Information Services at UAL. The Research Network of the University of the Arts London (RNUAL) is the platform for all activities open to UAL MPhil/PhD students and is organised on a cross-college basis.. RNUAL courses are also open to students in partner colleges whose research degrees are validated through the UAL Research Degrees Regulations: Arts University Bournemouth; University of Falmouth, and Norwich University of Art. The three compulsory intensive blocks of RNUAL, organised in September, February and June, are mandatory for all first year research degree students whether they are living/working in London or not. This is the only mandatory element of research training. Please note that all students must have 100% attendance at each of the blocks.

You should contact the Research Student section of Research Management and Administration (RMA) if in exceptional circumstances this is likely to be problematic for you and alternate arrangements may be made on a case by case basis with the agreement of the Director of Doctoral Programmes.

There are two student conferences each year as part of the compulsory RNUAL intensive weeks. This is an important opportunity to hear the work of other research students at UAL and to have the opportunity to ask questions about their work. Second year full-time students and third year part-time students will be asked to give a 20 minute presentation of a particular aspect their research in February 2014. First year students will be asked to give a 15 minute paper presenting the main thrust of their research project in June 2014. The February presentations are linked to confirmation stage interviews. Students who are presenting in February 2014 as part of their confirmation, regardless of mode of study, must attend the full day of their scheduled presentation.

All other courses listed here are optional. Research degree students may attend any of the events included here and in any year. However, some courses specify terms and conditions for attendance. Please observe these.

Any changes to the programmes or additional information about other courses open to research students will be added to the RNUAL Moodle site and sent by email to the research students email list.

Overview of RNUAL Programme 2013-2014 Students are advised to consider with their supervisors which optional activities within RNUAL would be appropriate to them. It is important to note that the optional programme in RNUAL is not envisaged as a ‘taught’ course, it is offered as a highly flexible training programme and students should negotiate their own use of it in relation to their field of study and their training needs. RNUAL mostly offers generic and transferrable skills training along with some subject specific training, which complements the work which students undergo with their subject specific supervisory team and in their college. The programme seeks to develop ‘effective researchers’ who can use their skills in a variety of ways to expand their employment opportunities and contribute to their personal development. Personal and Professional Development Planning (PPDP) is a key element of your research degree programme at UAL. Details of personal development planning, aims and objectives are given in the UAL Research Student’s Handbook and a review of each person’s skills and goals should run alongside consideration of courses or professional development opportunities taken. Your professional plans and your research project should be discussed with your supervisors and your participation in the RNUAL optional programme should be planned within the context of progressing both your research and professional life as a whole.

All first year students must undertake the three intensive weeks of RNUAL offered in their first year. Beyond this, as a general guideline, we advise full-time students to not commit themselves to more than half a day a week to our RNUAL courses and part-time students not to more than half a day every second week across the year.

This guideline is to ensure that sufficient time is spent working on the research project itself. Training needs will vary over the course of a research degree and students are asked to think carefully about this when planning the use of their time. It is envisaged that as your research degree progresses into its 3rd year full-time or 5th year part-time, your involvement in formal activities in RNUAL will decline and your engagement with external professional networks and communities relevant to your research will increase as you seek to present your research findings externally. Research training in the context of research degree programmes does not just involve attendance at the formal programmes offered in RNUAL, it also consists of the many other informal activities in which you are likely or expected to become involved: i.e. attending, participating or even organising conferences, scholarly seminars; organizing or participating in exhibitions; involvement in other professional activities for arts organizations, networks, or other external research groups, courses and seminars. When planning your activities, please consider these commitments as part of your involvement in research training.

UAL’s Research Centres, Research Hubs and Clusters all organize events, seminars and projects. Information about these is available on the research websites of the colleges and www.arts.ac.uk/research. Information about forthcoming events throughout

9

the year will be forwarded by email to the research-students list. As research degrees place emphasis on independent learning, students are also encouraged to organize events, seminars, reading groups and symposia. These events and activities can also be advertised and promoted to all students via the research-students list. There are a large number of MA courses across UAL. Some of the MA courses have agreed to let PhD students attend selected parts of their visiting lecture or seminar series. Students must contact the named course leader of the MA and ask to attend.

At Induction and in their annual report meetings, all students will be asked by their supervisors to consider their training needs. Students are advised to consult with their supervisors and undertake their own skills audit with a view to developing a training plan and a programme of attendance for the many courses and options offered in this handbook, only some of which may be useful or appropriate to their chosen field of research. This is an important discussion for your first supervision meeting each year.

Your Director of Studies is responsible for filling in a training needs analysis form (for first years) and returning copies to the Research Student section of the RMA Office at The Granary Building. Every student’s annual report is also a time to reflect on training needed and undertaken.

UAL Colleges, Centres and Research Groups The University is made up of 6 distinctive and distinguished Colleges: Camberwell College of Arts (CCA) Central Saint Martins College of Arts and Design (CSM) Chelsea College of Art and Design (CCAD) London College of Communication (LCC) London College of Fashion (LCF) Wimbledon College of Art (WCA) Camberwell, Chelsea and Wimbledon Colleges work closely together as part of a three-college partnership to form CCW within the University of the Arts London.

Located within London, the Colleges are at the heart of their respective communities.

Drawing on and contributing to the local culture, they foster closely-knit and welcoming environments in which to study, supported by all the resources of the larger University and the wider arts community.

The Colleges offer the University’s 20,000 students a diverse range of courses at all levels from foundation and undergraduate to postgraduate and research. The University’s 1,228 teaching staff, as active professional artists, practitioners, designers, critics and theorists, lead the way on creative and experimental practice alongside historical and theoretical analysis. The combination of a varied student group, cutting-edge research and highly-experienced staff creates a unique, multifaceted learning experience for students at the University.

1st Year Presentations and Employment Opportunities Sessions

1.2 RNUAL Workshops The RNUAL workshops are run on Wednesdays throughout the year, almost all from 11:00-12:30, changes to this will be communicated via mailing list and posted on Moodle, along with the workshop venue. Some sessions are longer in length and may be timed differently and therefore, it is important to check the times of sessions. Students may attend any or all seminars/workshops in each block. The Basic Research Skills workshops aimed at supporting first year research students, although second or third year students also attend depending on the methods they wish to use for their project; the Developing your Skills to the Next Stage workshops are aimed at preparing students for confirmation, although a number of first year students also regularly attend these sessions. The Academic Writing /Completion Skills workshops are aimed at second-fifth year students, but all students are welcome to attend. Although we try to hold as many sessions as possible in one site, this is not always feasible over the course of the year and therefore, it is important to note the venues for each session.

1.2.1 Basic Research Skills (1st year course) Basic Research Skills is aimed at supporting first year students embarking on their research project, writing your application for registration, considering any ethical issues involved in the research and beginning to think through the use of research methods/ techniques. It is divided into two sub-sections; Getting started on your research and Research methods/ design. Getting started is designed to work through some strategies and methods for organizing and progressing your research towards registration; Research methods/design workshops offer a range of approaches and techniques as research tools. Some of these are broadly social science based, while others are more specific to practice based research. However, the sessions are open to all students and continuing students often like to take advantage of the methods workshops in particular.

Getting started on your Research 9 October 2013 – How to develop your proposal for registration (11.00 – 12.30) There are two sessions on developing your proposal (registration form), both of which are designed to be interactive.

1.2.5 College Based Seminars and Activities CCW CCW Graduate School Public Programme and MPhil/PhD Seminar Series Locations: Chelsea, Camberwell and Wimbledon colleges.

The Graduate School programme, along with the activities of research centres and networks, hosted by CCW, provide a rich calendar of events to inform and enhance the broader course. One of the most important functions of the Graduate School is to facilitate greater communication, focus and debate of key issues across the communities of practice that exist within the three colleges. Some of our key activities include: Graduate School Public Research Platforms Designed to explore and develop relationships between contemporary art and design practice and notions of identity, environment, social engagement and technologies and bring together the whole Graduate School community.

The Practice Exchange (TPE) A seminar series facilitated by research degree students. It explores art and design research and provides a platform where practitioners can present their practice to their peers and receive feedback.

Student Exhibition First year research degree students at CCW also have the opportunity to lead and take part in an annual exhibition that takes place at the end of the spring term.

MPhil/PhD Seminar Series A fortnightly programme of seminars for Research students; these seminars will provide a context for discussing all aspects of the MPhil/PhD, with an emphasis on the integration of practice within that process. Seminars are open to all research students but there will be sessions specifically focussed towards 1st years, as well as a Confirmation Group and a Finishers Group.

TrAIN Lectures The TrAIN (Transnational Art, Identity and Nation) Research Centre Open Series is a forum for invited speakers to present exhibition, publication and research projects in the form of lectures, discussions and screenings.

The student’s work will be proofread by a member of the Language Centre’s Academic Team. If the meaning of much of the writing is difficult to understand, or too much correction is needed, the Language Centre will not proofread the work and we will return it to the student. Students must pay for proofreading BEFORE the academic team does the work. The Language Centre will return the work to students within 72 hours of payment.

Proofreading charges are £30 per 2000 words. (Please note that this the minimum charge. For word count larger than 2000 the charge is rounded up to next 500 words).

When proofreading a student’s work the proof reader should aim to ensure that neither the general writing style nor the academic content of the paper is changed. This is to ensure that the proof-reader does not compromise the student’s authorship of the work submitted and that the substance of the work remains the student’s own. It is also to ensure that the proof reader does not influence the grade.

The proofreader may correct/insert: • Spelling • Tense • Punctuation • Word order • Style e.g. use of contractions • Wrong word • Wrong part of speech • Agreement • Missing word • Unnecessary word The proofreader may indicate • Where joining or dividing paragraphs or sentences would be beneficial • Where sentences are incomplete • Where meaning is unclear • Which areas the student must pay attention to The proofreader will not: • Make changes to the academic content of the text. If the proofreader believes

there to be inaccuracies in the academic content of the text, they will refer the

34

student to their academic tutor.

• Make assumptions about the intended meaning if the standard of the writing is

so poor that communication is very difficult. In such cases, the proofreader will

indicate that the author needs to rewrite certain sections.

• Re-phrase unnecessarily to make a particular phrase smoother. For example the

following corrections would be considered unnecessary: Original version

‘In his works he was criticising the social-political milieu he was living in.’

Corrected version

‘In his works he criticised the social-political milieu in which he lived.’

DSAs cover the additional disability-related costs that you might incur whilst studying.

The support you get from DSAs depends on your individual needs (and not your income).

DSA funding pays for things like: - Assistive software - Equipment - Support workers – e.g. note-taker, mentor, study skills tutor, practical assistant DSAs can also cover additional costs including: - Photocopying - Printing - Books - Travel DSAs do not cover maintenance, tuition or other costs which you would incur regardless of whether you are studying – e.g. personal care.

DSAs are funded by different bodies, depending on which part of the UK you normally live in and how your fees/maintenance costs are being paid.

If you are receiving funding for maintenance and fees from the Arts and Humanities

36

Research Council, your DSAs will be administered by the University. Contact the Disability Service as early as possible so we can help you to apply.

If you are self-funding your fees and maintenance, the funding body for where you live will administer the DSAs, e.g. Student Finance England.

For more information about DSAs and how to apply, visit: https://www.gov.uk/disabled-students-allowances-dsas/overview If you have any queries about applying please contact the University Disability Service.

If you are not a UK citizen: Please contact the University Disability Service. The Service will assess the support that you need and inform you what we can fund. It is sometimes necessary for students to top-up this funding from other sources. We will provide advice about how to do this.

Section 2: Research Training Across the University 2.1.1 English as a Second Language The Language Centre offers free Academic skills classes, workshops and one-to-one tutorials to all research students for whom English is a second language. Times and dates of these sessions will be confirmed during the first term through your supervisors..

Course contact: Insessional Course Leader, Karen Matthewman: k.matthewman@arts.ac.uk Venue: The Language Centre, 272 High Holborn, WC1V 7EY If further support for English language skills is required, students should make their training needs known to their supervisors and contact their College Associate Dean of Research.

2.1.2 Modern Language Learning at the Language Centre, UAL Languages: Art and Culture Languages currently offered: French - German - Italian - Mandarin - Spanish These classes are available to any UAL students for a fee.

Why not learn a language while learning about the art and culture of the country?

Each class begins with a presentation given by your teacher, introducing you to an aspect of the country’s art and culture. The language learning comes from this topic with listening, speaking, reading and writing activities. By the end of the course you will not only have a grasp of a modern language but you will also be able to use this skill in an interesting and practical way.

Classes are once a week in the evenings making it manageable if you study or work full time and run on a termly basis.

Course contact: Modern Languages Course leader, Conrad Heyns: c.heyns@arts.ac.uk Course Details and Booking Please contact the Language Centre at the end of September 2013 for exact dates, times, fees and enrolment information for 2013-14.

Developing Academic Practice has been designed as an introduction to the range of contexts, approaches and activities you will encounter as a teacher.

Having attended two compulsory face-to-face sessions, providing opportunities for you to explore questions and problems arising in your own experience, you are required to present a short presentation and reflective statement on your current and future teaching practice.

This unit is aimed at those who are beginning to teach, and other professionals interested in understanding methods and approaches used in Further and Higher Education today. If you are a registered PhD student and have no previous teaching experience, you are required to complete this course before taking up a Graduate Teaching Assistant role at the University.

Unit dates: - DAP A on Tuesday 25 & Wednesday 26 February 2014 - DAP B on Wednesday 30 April and Thursday 1 May 2014 Applications must be received by 1 November 2013, and should be submitted via the Research Administrator in your College.

Please download and submit an application form from the CLTAD Website - http:// www.arts.ac.uk/cltad/ Other opportunities through CLTAD: CLTAD offers a range of units through the CPD Framework for Academic Practice in Art, Design and Communication. Units may be undertaken on a standalone basis or in combination towards a named qualification, for example a Postgraduate Certificate, Postgraduate Diploma or MA. Specific combinations of units lead to conditional accreditation through external bodies such as the Higher Education Academy (HEA) and

40

the Staff and Educational Development Association (SEDA).

CLTAD also offers workshops and individual advice to support the implementation of learning technologies, including Moodle, blogs, wikis, podcasting and virtual classroom solutions.

If research degree students would like support in using these technologies, they should contact the e-learning team (elearning-support@arts.ac.uk) in the first instance. Workshop details, dates and application forms for 2013-14 are listed on the CLTAD web pages.

CLTAD, University of the Arts London 6th floor, 272 High Holborn, London WC1V 7EY http://www.arts.ac.uk/cltad/ 2.3 London Short and Professional courses The University also offers many short courses. These are particularly good in IT, video-editing, photography, fashion practice, design skills (including web design, Photoshop), professional development courses, proof-reading and presentation skills. There are a wide range of specialist skills courses in design offered.

MPhil/PhD students at UAL may attend these courses for free, on the same basis as UAL staff members: namely that, places are offered when the course is undersubscribed (in terms of the numbers of external fee-paying students).

Sometimes if courses that have been advertised do not run or are filled up at the last minute with paying customers, then the place available to PhD students cannot be guaranteed. (This is the same arrangement for staff).

Many of the courses offered take place in the evenings, weekends and holidays and can be found on the college websites. When booking a course, please make clear that you are a research degree student at UAL and entitled to a free place via the scheme above.

Sustainability lies at the heart of our exploration; Fashion is our scope and reference point.

Ecological, social, cultural and economic imperatives offer grand challenges and opportunities inviting imaginative new ways to connect us as citizens, communities and societies. There are critical and evolving roles for designers in the creative industries,

43

co-operating with business, academia, government and public endeavours. Our work explores these roles and their points of intervention within systems within and beyond fashion itself. As fashion is inherently innovative, there is a significant scope for the messaging of it as an artistic means to connect us and for its tangible globally significant aspects to be a kernel for positive change in society.

This context of ecological and social imperatives of our times and the role and scope of fashion to respond to and shape change is guided by underlying principles upon which we base our work. Taking a holistic, interdisciplinary, multi levelled approach towards design for sustainability relating to fashion, we seek ways to Live Within Nature’s Limits, through work that contributes to restorative practices and we seek Better Lives, through work that contributes to honouring integrity and fulfilment for those directly and indirectly involved in its activities. Our methods and the disciplines they touch are developed in accordance with the research as it unfolds. Balancing the need for mitigation and adaptation in our changing world, we seek to engage in Transformational Thinking and Practice, to dissolve our currently unsustainable practices rather than finding fixes in the current system, whilst simultaneously testing out ideas in live industry environments.

The lifeblood of the centre is the interaction of a diversity of world leading researchers, designers, educators and learners from across demographic, geographic and cultural spheres. The centre is a place of ideation for all of our participants and our PhD students are greatly valued assets in this sharing and critically supportive community.

Framing our projects are five paths of enquiry, with projects and activities within each relating to research, industry, education, government and public platforms to: Radicalize practice - to shape and respond to the world that we all want Dream with your eyes wide open - design to be life viable, feasible and desirable Be a Voice for Change - speak truth to power Challenge Conventional Aesthetics - seek beauty and you will find it Engage Citizen Action - as individuals, community members and societal contributors For details of our work, please visit www.sustainable-fashion.com Director: Dilys Williams Research Staff: Prof. Sandy Black, Prof. Helen Storey, Prof. Lucy Orta, Dr. Kate Fletcher, Prof. Danka Tamburic Research Centre Administrator: Zoe Norton z.norton@fashion.arts.ac.uk Tel: 020 7514 2280 Web: www.sustainable-fashion.com

Creative Research into Sound Arts Practice (CRiSAP) CRiSAP is a research centre dedicated to the exploration of the rich complexities of sound as an artistic practice. Our aim is to promote dialogue, debate and creative activity in sound arts practice through the production of new creative work, exhibition and curation, publication and public debate and the formation of new collaborative relationships. Our main, but by no means exclusive, areas of activity can be categorised as: - Sound and the Environment - Sound and Language, exploring the spoken word in artistic practice - Digital Improvisation and Performance - The development of new creative tools - Creative practice and cross arts collaboration - Investigating the potential of archival materials to animate contemporary sound

art debate CRiSAP derived its initial impetus from the research activities of key personnel in the London College of Communication’s School of Media. It has since gone on to foster connections with many of the other colleges in the University and to develop the potential for collaboration with relevant external individuals and institutions.

To date, activities include published books: In The Field (Uniformbooks), On Listening (RGAP), Autumn Leaves (Vibro / Double Entendre) with an accompanying audio compilation (winner of a Qwartz Electronic Music Award 2008); and Playing With Words: the spoken word in artistic practice (RGAP/CRiSAP); Performance: Events connected with the Her Noise archive at the Tate Modern, London and in Oslo; Events connected with Playing With Words at the Small Publisher’s Fair, Conway Hall, London and Gallus Theatre, Frankfurt; Co-curation of a Sound Escapes exhibition at Space; commission of two innovative software applications: Speechcutter or the manipulation of recorded vocal material and Déjà Vu, a powerful ‘sound seeker’ designed to work with large audio databases.

CRiSAP has curated a series of online exhibitions including Clickanywhere, exploring the edges between the audible and the visible, Vermilion Sounds, a showcase of the long running environmental sound radio programme, and most recently Not For Human Consumption, an online exhibition of material related to sound phenomena that is inaudible or impossibly loud. We hold the whole archive of the London’s Musician Collective.

We have also organised a conference on Sound and Anthropology (with the University of St Andrews), three symposia – Sound Body and The Performance of Sound (with Tate Britain) and In The Field,International Symposium for Field Recording at The British Library as part of the Sounds of Europe partnership. We have delivered numerous conference papers and presentations and have organised master classes for students with Francisco Lopez, Nic Collins and Taina Riikonen.

Our members have lectured and performed around the world and have had their work

45

produced on BBC Radio 3, Channel Four, ResonanceFM and elsewhere. We have a large network of national and international associates. CRiSAP is also involved with the delivery of undergraduate and postgraduate teaching in the Sound Arts and Design department at LCC.

Our main remit is to prevent all kinds of crime – including bag and bike theft, ATM and retail crime, antisocial behaviour, drug abuse/ dealing and terrorism; and to promote quality of life and sustainable living through enhanced notions of social well being and community safety. It does so through delivering socially responsive design, and other creative services and innovation, that are ‘fit for purpose’ and contextually appropriate in all other respects, solving the design dilemma of how to design objects, systems, services and environments that reduce crime and criminality, or address other “wicked” social problems, whilst improving the quality of life’.

DACRC and SRvDI aims to...

Demonstrate why “Secure design doesn’t have to look criminal” via practice-led design and social innovation aimed at creating benchmarks for public space and the public realm.

Reduce the incidence and harmful consequences of crime, through design of products, services, communications and environments that are fit for purpose, sustainable and contextually appropriate Equip design practitioners with the cognitive and practical tools and resources to design out crime, and to cope with social and technological change and out-innovate adaptive offenders.

Address ‘environmental complicity’ with crime in the built environment and reduce crime whilst increasing wellbeing of individuals and building sustainable communities with enhanced quality of life.

Prove and promote the social and commercial benefits of creativity in addressing crime and other social issues linked to behaviour change to government and to manufacturing and service industries, as well as to those concerned with the ‘social economy’.

6. Transfer successful practice – in particular models of the DAC and SRVDI

process – that have a strong evidence base of success, to other social issues to

be addressed by design (such as health, ageing, climate change and finance) via

our ‘Socially Responsive Design and Innovation’ (SRvDI) focus.

7. Build interdisciplinary and international collaborations to develop and share the

richest academic and cultural base for DACRC and SRvDI. 8. Recruit PhD students to maintain and enhance the leading edge in practice-led research.

Current activities include: Bookbinding terminology LIGATUS is leading the development of a terminology for historic bookbinding. Following a project which resulted in a detailed bookbinding glossary and a methodology to record historic bookbindings, LIGATUS is now leading a large network of European partners in the development of a bookbinding thesaurus based on semantic web technologies which should become a widely-adopted standard.

Saint Catherine’s Monastery Library, Mount Sinai, Egypt The monastery of St Catherine in the Sinai, Egypt, is the oldest active Christian monastery in the world. The monastery’s library holds a unique collection of Byzantine manuscripts. Ligatus undertook the task of assessing the condition of the manuscripts, has designed a new conservation workshop, a stainless steel box for the storage of the manuscripts and is advising on further conservation work. The project has been funded by the St Catherine Foundation with additional support from the Headley Trust.

Digital bookbinding collections 30,000 slides of the bound manuscripts in the St Catherine’s Monastery Library, taken as part of the survey, have been digitized and have been joined by 10,000 digital images of the bindings on the early printed books. Based on this material, LIGATUS is

47

planning a repository of an additional, unrivalled, collection of materials relating to the history of bookbinding donated by key scholars who have worked internationally in major public and private collections.

Decorated Papers Ligatus is launching a project to photograph and put on the web examples of historic European decorated papers to act both as a guide to the identification and description of these papers as well as a research tool which will help to identify where and when these papers were used.

Archiving LIGATUS is pioneering the development of methodologies for documenting heritage archives. Following the proposal of Creative Archiving where the archivist’s subjectivity is turned into an advantage by introducing an interpretation layer through modern software tools; LIGATUS is developing ways to enable the conceptual linking of heritage archives based on semantic technologies (Linked Open Data). LIGATUS is also working with the John Latham Foundation on the John Latham Archive. The archive has been digitised and is available for study online.

Director: Prof. Nicholas Pickwoad Deputy Director: Dr Athatnasios Velios Research Assistant: Aurelie Martin Research Centre Administrator: Ewelina Warner (St Catherine Foundation) Web: www.ligatus.org.uk Photography & the Archive Research Centre (PARC) The UAL Photography and the Archive Research Centre (PARC) was designated by the University of the Arts London in 2003 and is based at the London College of Communication. It is a dynamic and growing Research Centre which responds to, and initiates, significant developments within research into photography practice, history, theory, curatorship and writing. PARC is concerned with a range of important questions related to both the archive and contemporary and historical photographic practice.

PARC acts as a catalyst for practice-based research alongside academic scholarship.

This rich vein of work relates to an expanding field of both creative and scholarly activity. As the Centre has grown and developed over the last ten years, and responded to the interests of its members, students and the UAL community, it has increased its range of activity to fully encompass ideas and issues around the practice, theory and history of photography. The Centre initiates new and innovative research into photography and culture and organises seminars, study days, symposia and conferences, both within UAL and externally. Most recently it has organized a new Biennale of Research and is co-convening the peer-reviewed Nostalgias conference with Canterbury Christ Church University, November, 2013.

48

The Centre’s interests span the history and culture of photography, with particular emphasis on post-war British photography, the documentation of war and conflict, the photography of fashion and style, the visualization of the counterculture, and photography and sexuality. Past projects from PARC include AHRC-funded ROAD: Artists and the M11 Link Road Campaign, and The New British Photography of the 1970s; Daniel Meadows: Early Photographs (National Media Museum and touring, 2011-); Growing Up in the New Age (Street Level Photoworks & Wolverhampton Art Gallery, 2012); the Considering Vietnam conference (with the Imperial War Museum, 2011); A Day in the World (Kulturhuset, Stockholm and Museum of World Cultures, Gothenburg, 2013).

Individual PARC members work across a wide variety of areas, including the archives of studio photography, women and photography, photographic practice, Nordic photography, photography theory and history, photography and the contemporary imaginary and photography & queerness. PhD supervsion is available in all these areas, as well as within the Centre’s core research themes.

PARC’s members play an important part in the Centre’s work. These include: Professor Tom Hunter; Dr Wiebke Leister; Dr Sara Davidmann; Dr Jennifer Good, Reader Patrick Sutherland; Dr Alistair O’Neill, David Moore, Reader Pam Skelton and Paul Lowe.

Centre staff and members supervise a growing number of research students, who are active in organizing seminars and masterclasses on behalf of the Centre. PARC’s staff and members contribute to the international research culture around photography in many ways, as exhibiting artists, curators, writers, educators, editors and speakers at a wide range of conferences. PARC’s Director, Val Williams and Deputy Director (Brigitte Lardinois) are noted curators, with exhibitions initiated in partnership with institutions which include Tate Britain, the National Media Museum, and the Barbican Art Gallery. Within LCC, PARC also works closely with the Faculty of Media, and PARC members, staff and research students are active participants in the college’s recently developed research hubs. The Centre also worked with LCC to curate the 2012 exhibition of PhD practice. Research outcomes from PARC members can be found at UAL Research Online: www.ualresearchonline.arts.ac.uk The Journal of Photography & Culture is co-hosted by the Centre, and PARC Director Professor Val Williams is a co-editor. Continuous work with the Journal from 2008 onwards means that P&C has developed a unique international network of academics with photography as their core interest. PARC publishes Fieldstudy twice a year, covering its key areas of research, and commissioning issues on new photographic practice. The Centre also leads the online Directory of Photographic Collections in the UK. PARC also manages the Camerawork Archive and the Archive of Photography Exhibition Posters. In May 2013 it launched the Biennale of Research, Moose on the Loose, with events taking place at the London College of Communication and venues across London. For more information on the Biennale visit www.mooseontheloose.net.

Current PhD students are working on both practice-based PhDs and thesis-based projects. Their work includes studies of the single Saudi woman, the political and social

49

relevance of photography in the landscape and community photography in the 1970s and beyond. Full details of research students at LCC can be found at www.lcc.arts. ac.uk/research/research-degrees/student-projects/. The Centre has also welcomed visiting research students and visiting research fellows.

The centre provides a wide support network for PhD students and is at the forefront of collaborative research concerned with textiles and material design. It brings together UAL research staff, PhD students, national and international academic researchers, cultural institutions, industry and commerce.

TFRC and PhD researchers explore the areas of: fashion, product, architecture, environment, medicine, well-being and social innovation through the Centre’s three platforms of Science and Technology, Sustainable Strategy and Well-Being. In Science and Technology researchers investigate the potential of new technologies and emerging science fields in the context of future sustainable design. The Sustainable Strategy platform examines sustainability as a broad, holistic approach to drive industry innovation – from experimenting with new fibres and technologies to extending the life of textiles. The Well-Being platform explores how designers can work towards social change and improve health and well-being. The centre and its research degree supervisors support both PhD practice and theoretical research within and across these platforms.

All our PhD supervisors are world leading researchers and experts in their field.

TFRC is a strong, vibrant and active research community with diverse research activities and outputs. These range from the creation of new materials, products, services, textile processes and techniques, through to critical academic papers, publications and participation in national and international conferences and exhibitions.

50

Current PhD students actively contribute to these activities, and are firmly integrated within TFRC’s research community. The Centre’s many multidisciplinary collaborations provide our PhD students with the opportunity to combine theory with action – working with scientists, technologists, engineers, designers or makers – translating research and innovative methods into the commercial world. Our research approaches and outputs are continually evolving; with current and future undergraduate and postgraduate textile programmes, we are shaping the future of the textile industry.

Textile design and production have played a pivotal role in economic, social, educational and cultural development worldwide. The diverse range of research projects, including PhD research projects within TFRC, seek to explore this role to benefit future social systems by situating designers in the vanguard of new social, cultural, scientific and technological development by contributing empirical and innovative research to support sustainable and resilient design to realise the potential of textiles’ aesthetics, production, function, application and cultural influence to advance the textile industry.

Director: Prof. Rebecca Earley Deputy Centre Director: Carole Collet Centre Manager: Angela Hartley Research Centre Administrator: Ania Stawarska a.stawarska@arts.ac.uk Web: www.tfrc.org.uk Transnational Art Identity and Nation (TrAIN) The Centre is a dynamic research forum for internationally recognised scholars and practitioners, working on research in transnational issues in art and design, both globally and locally. It is no longer easy to define the nature of the local and the international and many cultural interactions now operate on the level of the transnational. Transnational relationships are understood here as challenging the long-standing binaries of centre/ margin and as crossings through the different media of fine art, design, craft, curation, performance and popular art forms. The activities of TrAIN encompass historical, theoretical and practice-based research in which the impact of identity and nation on the production and consumption of artworks and artefacts is central. TrAIN grew out of an established Chelsea/Camberwell research group active since 1993. Key partnerships include the TrAIN/Gasworks Artists’ Residency, an international residency which raises specific questions for individual artists, and wider issues regarding how both local and international contexts are negotiated in practice and a series of Fulbright Visiting Distinguished Chairs which take on a 6 month residency in Chelsea College of Art and Design.

Current TrAIN research projects include; The Birth of Cool (British Council), Translating and Writing Modern Design Histories in East Asia for the Global World (AHRC), Pop Art in Latin America - Collaborative Doctoral Award (AHRC). Previous TrAIN projects include Meeting Margins, Transnational Art in Latin America and Europe, 1950–1978 (in collaboration with the University of Essex, AHRC funded). Forgotten Japonisme, the

LCC The DigiLab At its core is the view that engagements across the areas of design and media needs to be varied, open and theoretically underpinned from a range of perspectives. DigiLab researchers have a combined collaborative interest in the digital providing consultancy, continuous professional development, master classes and contract research. However big or small, our ambitions are to challenge and poke at existing norms, their methods and digital attributes to understand what could be understood as social. Researchers at the DigiLab particularly enjoy engaging in projects that are deemed impossible, complex or messy. The sort of stuff that leads us into the unknown rather than to narrowed specialisations and quick fix innovation strategies. The DigiLab is not driven by the premise of a technology push but driven by a social understanding of current convergence issues across specialisms and technologies. We currently work with large technology providers as well as museums and cultural institutions.

Section 4: The Researcher’s Guide to Library Services Researchers traditionally use a broad range of information services and resources which are provided by the library service of their own University and other organisations. Archives, company records/ archives, special collections within associations or professional bodies, museum or gallery collections may all prove important to a research project alongside conventional library research, use of online resources and e-journals.

4.1 Library Services at University of the Arts London The University’s six libraries, Archives and Special Collections Centre and two Learning Zones represent a major resource for arts, design, communication & performance research, with a wide range of specialist journals, audiovisual materials and many electronic resources as well as books. Each college has its own library with different areas of emphasis in its collection.

As a research student at the University, these libraries are the first port of call for your research (see Appendix A for a list of Library Services facilities at UAL) Who to ask for help The following librarians are available in each college to offer one-to-one advice sessions for research degree students, particularly with regard to accessing or using electronic resources. Please contact them by phone or email or go into the library to make an appointment with them for a one-to-one session.

These pages provide access to the library catalogue, to electronic resources, including online journals and

68

image databases, to information on other libraries and much more. They are your introduction to the range of services provided by the Library and the staff who can help you.

Library catalogue The library catalogue voyager.arts.ac.uk provides details of all items in the library’s holdings and information about your own account. The button labelled ‘My Account’ shows what you currently have on loan, and also any reservations you have requested. At the top of the page is a tab for ‘My Loan History’ which shows all the items you have borrowed in the last two years. You can email this list to yourself to inform your bibliography.

The library catalogue can be accessed from anywhere in the world via the Library Services web pages, through computers in the libraries or directly at voyager.arts.ac.uk.

Library Services has over 30 special collections and archives (see Appendix B) that reflect the rich and varied histories of the 6 colleges. Many of these collections have been the focus of research and other projects that Library Services staff have been involved in (see Appendix F). Library Services also provides a range of open access IT, reprographic and production facilities (see Appendix C).

UAL Research Online www.ualresearchonline.arts.ac.uk This is the University’s repository of its scholarly research. Its primary aim is to collect, preserve, and provide open access to the research outputs produced by the University. Material in the repository is free to view, browse and download, by anyone with an internet connection, anywhere in the world. It holds items in many formats, from still and moving images, to audio recordings, websites and texts, and includes the outputs of practice-based as well as traditional research. Research-active staff of the University are able to deposit material according to criteria endorsed by the University Research Standards and Development Committee; student work is limited to accepted PhD theses. UAL Research Online services the university’s submission to the Research Excellence Framework, provides scholars with the ability to fulfil Open Access requirements of their funding bodies, and showcases the wealth of our research to a world-wide audience. It is managed by Stephanie Meece in Library Services, in close collaboration with the research management and administration office at the University.

UK theses and other research outputs Most Universities have similar online repositories, and this an increasingly important way for research to be disseminated.

You can search across UK repositories by using IR Search www.irs.mimas.ac.uk/ (see Appendix F).

EThOS - http://www.ethos.bl.uk

69

EThOS offers a ‘single point of access’ where researchers the world over can access ALL theses produced by UK Higher Education. It supports Higher Education Institutions through the transition from print to e-theses. The British Library offers UK Higher Education Institutions a service to expand available content by digitising paper theses.

This demonstrates the quality of UK research and helps attract students and research investment into UK HE. To view a thesis online, search across 300,000+ theses for free and order full text quickly and easily, through the ethos web site.

4.2 Using the University’s Libraries Once you have enrolled as a student, you will be able to use the services offered by Library Services across the University. Your University ID card is also your library card and can be used at any library within the University. You will need to obtain and maintain your University username and password to use the various electronic resources available via the University e-Library (within www.arts.ac.uk/library) Research students and staff are entitled to borrow a maximum of 20 items at any one time. Various loan periods are in use so please check due back dates as fines are charged for overdue items. Check due dates via the receipt provided by Self-Service kiosks or electronically via the Library Catalogue.

You can renew items you have on loan a maximum of 10 times via the Library Catalogue voyager.arts.ac.uk which is also available on PCs at all University libraries or by the Self-Service kiosks in the libraries. If any items you have on loan have been reserved you will be unable to renew them.

Extended loan periods are available for staff or students with disabilities. All students who have registered with the University as dyslexic or with a disability will automatically be entitled to extended loans. There is an item fetching service for next day item collection, if the items are in stock, to put books or DVDs aside for you, or a named helper to collect the next day. Assistance can be provided to enable access to the library catalogue and to electronic resources and assistive software is available in college library spaces. Please contact your college study support, disability and dyslexia support offices to make sure you are registered for these services and visit the library web pages or speak to local library staff for more information.

If an item is already on loan to another borrower, reservations can be made via the Library catalogue voyager.arts.ac.uk which is available at all University libraries. You can check whether your reserved item is available on the My Account option on the Library Catalogue and you will also be notified via your university email.

Library Services staff roam the libraries and are available to help you. They will do their

70

best to assist you in locating material for your research both within the University and outside. Each library has a team of Academic Support Librarians who are professionally qualified and have a wide range of subject expertise.

Do ask them for help if you are having difficulty in locating information or need help with using the range of facilities provided within library services.

Copies of theses completed by past PhD students at the University are available from the libraries and listed on the library catalogue. Theses are for reference only. ETheses are available on request, via the British Library.

Off Campus Access to E-Resources The University is a member of the UK Access Management Federation. This enables the University to authenticate off-campus access to a wide range of online journals and bibliographic databases that are invaluable for research purposes. Most of the resources listed in the e-library can be accessed off campus by users typing in their university network username and password in order to prove that they are members of UAL (see guide in Appendix D). A few resources require their own passwords; please see information posted next to each resource on the e-Library web page.

Using Databases and Other Electronic Resources www.arts.ac.uk/library If you want to know whether anyone else has written about elevator design in the 1950s or what Zizek had to say about multiculturalism or if there exists a Lacanian analysis of Louise Bourgeois or who the experts are in game theory... then a bibliographic database is the best place to start your research. As a research student, you need to ensure that you know who has published in your field (s), when and what they had to say, and searching through bibliographic indexes is a fast way to identify other research in your area or related fields.

Bibliographic databases will provide you with the reference to a journal article, catalogue or book. You then need to search for the actual item with this information. The e-Library at UAL is an information portal providing a single point of access to resources including more than 100 databases and more than 19,000 e-journals, many of them full text.

The e-Library features a Google-style resource discovery system. This service facilitates searching across a range of e-resources and library catalogues. Please see library services web pages for further information. It can also supply RSS feeds to personal accounts to keep you up to date with the latest information in your subject area.

A list of useful bibliographic databases and brief descriptions is given in Appendices D and G. You are advised to familiarise yourself with the key resources that are useful to your subject and be aware of their uses and limitations for your research. None of the bibliographic databases listed are exhaustive so you will need to search across a num-

71

ber of them to locate useful material and/or reproductions of works (another invaluable resource for your final thesis).

If the article you require is not available as full text on-line, or the periodical is not available in hard copy within the UAL libraries you may arrange for an interlibrary loan of the material you require (of articles or books) or locate a library where the material is available. You may also be able to use other university libraries through the SCONUL reciprocal access scheme. (Further information on SCONUL is detailed in a later section of this guide.)

Full text resources are becoming increasingly available, and the library subscribes to these wherever possible. Art Full Text is a notable example that provides not only the bibliographic details but in some cases also provides the full text of articles, often giving the option for either HTML full-text, showing keywords highlighted, or PDF of the original article, as it appears in the hard copy journal. The latter is particularly useful for viewing the layout and illustrations in context. Art Full Text also now provides audio files to some articles. However, a quick comparison using the same search term with ProQuest: Art Bibliographies Modern will often reveal a different range of articles from more academic and scholarly journals. The ProQuest platform hosts a number of databases including Art Bibliographies Modern, Arts & Humanities Full Text and Design and Applied Arts Index, which allows you to combine searches across these 3 databases.

Good sources of multi-disciplinary full-text articles are Academic Search Complete and SAGE Journals Online, which provides access to many articles in the Humanities and the Social Science fields from over 500 journal titles. Daily newspaper articles are available in full text from Nexis® and full text UK marketing reports can be obtained via the Mintel Report database and Business Source Complete. Many of the social sciences, sciences and engineering databases are now linked to full text online provision of articles from journals published by major academic presses so if your research extends beyond art and design you may find these services particularly useful. You can search for e-journals by title or subject in the ‘e-Journals Portal’ section of the e-Library. You can search for e-databases using by ‘Databases A-Z list’ – soon to be in Libguides. If you are having problems finding relevant material in these electronic resources and are working in the library, please ask library staff to assist you or ask for a demonstration.

Interlibrary Loans and Finding Information about Other Libraries Interlibrary loans can be requested through the libraries. Photocopies of articles in journals not held within the University or available on-line via the e-library may be obtained, principally through the British Library Document Supply Centre. Theses, conference papers or books may also be requested through interlibrary loans. Electronic versions of theses are available from the British Library Electronic Theses Online Service.

(EThOS)

72

Interlibrary loans may take 2-4 weeks to arrive, so please plan your research needs with this in mind. Alternatively, you can search for items on the COPAC union catalogue, a consortium of 27 large university and national libraries at www.copac.ac.uk or you can search InforM25, a consortium of 52 university and other HE libraries within London and the South East, at www.m25lib.ac.uk Further links to many online catalogues for other libraries can be found in the Library Services web pages to help you to locate material you need. Also library staff may be able to refer you to the library that holds the item you require and to advise you about access schemes that can give you reference and borrowing rights at a number of libraries within the UK. These schemes are also listed on the Library Services web pages See Appendix E for a list of specialist libraries and archives for arts, design and communication research.

4.3 SCONUL Access This important scheme provides staff and postgraduate research students registered for a PhD, MPhil or similar qualification awarded purely by research, with borrowing access to participating higher education libraries around the country. Most university libraries in the UK and Ireland participate in this scheme, including the Courtauld Institute, Senate House Library and Kings College, London. Most of these libraries provide free borrowing rights to people registered with the SCONUL Access Scheme although there are a few isolated cases where libraries may charge fees for this. The libraries participating in this scheme and the access rights offered are listed in full at www.access.sconul.ac.uk.

If you wish to join the scheme please ask at your college library for further details. Alternatively you can download the application form from www.access.sconul.ac.uk/ users_info/application_html and return it to library staff, who will provide you with your card. Contact any library you wish to visit in advance to find out their arrangements for SCONUL Access visitors. You are advised to take your SCONUL Access card and your University ID card with you.

4.4 Copyright As a researcher an awareness of copyright, data protection and patent legislation is essential to your research and knowledge of copyright restrictions for all formats of material, whether they be printed, audio-visual or electronic, is absolutely critical.

Copyright is the right to control the reproduction, distribution, use and manipulation of intellectual property.
