Description
Provoking the Field invites debate on, and provides an essential resource for, transnational arts-based scholars engaged in critical analyses of international visual arts education and its enquiry in doctoral research. Divided into three parts - doctoral processes, doctoral practices and doctoral programmes - the volume interrogates education in both formal and informal learning environments, ranging from schools to post-secondary institutions to community and adult education.
This book brings together a global range of authors to examine visual arts PhDs using diverse theoretical perspectives; innovative arts and hybrid methodologies; institutional relationships and scholarly practices; and voices from the field in the form of site-specific cases. A compendium of leading voices in arts education, Provoking the Field provides a diverse range of perspectives on arts enquiry, and a comprehensive study of the state of visual arts PhDs in education.

Reviews / Votes
'[Provoking the Field] is comprised of a series of case studies that illustrate the wide variety and richness of arts-based research undertaken as part of international doctoral programmes in education. One strength of this publication is the impressive range of nationalities that are included in the book; examples of doctoral programmes are represented from all parts of the globe. It is clear that attempts have been made to avoid an ethnocentric perspective on the subject.This book will be important to those doctorate students who intend using visual arts methods to explore educational research questions. [...] New Ph.D. supervisors would also find Provoking the Field: International Perspectives on Visual Arts PhDs in Education a valuable asset when developing their own supervisory practice.' -- Samantha Broadhead, Art, Design & Communication in Higher Education
