We are delighted to invite you to the third symposium of the Professional Doctorate Programme of the Arts + Creative domain, which will take place in Breda on Friday, June 14th, 2024, at BUas Breda University of Applied Sciences.
This year’s Professional Doctorate symposium explores auto-ethnography as a method in artistic and design research. Through presentations and discussions, participants investigate how personal experiences intersect with broader philosophical, social, and cultural questions. The symposium aims to unearth the political and historical dimensions within individual narratives, fostering a deeper understanding of self-representation and scholarly engagement in contemporary contexts.
You are welcome to join us for lunch at 12:00 and at 13:00, the symposium will start with the introduction of the new PD-candidates, followed by a keynote on auto-ethnography in artistic research. Then, three short lectures will be given and after this, several break out sessions with our PD-candidates will take place.
