WHEN: for a period of three years, to start August 2009 or shortly thereafter

PAYMENTS: to include fees (home/EU or international rate) and an annual stipend of £12,600

DETAILS: one of seven full-time Research Doctoral Scholarships across a broad range of subject areas at Teesside University, this project will consist of a critical appraisal of the role of participatory art and curation in the context of wider regional and national cultural policy objectives. The project will be either a practice-led or a text-based project, the eventual choice being determined by the candidates. It will comprise two aspects: the first will be an analysis of wider policy debates, ranging from official policy documents on art, curating and social inclusion, together with the academic and other commentary on such initiatives. This will then provide a critical background for either the critical analysis of existing participatory art and curatorial projects or the execution of a practice-led participatory project.
