Hey there - you found me! I am an artist and academic involved in doctoral supervision at Norwich University of the Arts in the UK. On each episode I will be talking to a current research student from a variety of institutions about their practice-based project. We will go into the details of their particular interest, talk a bit about practice methodologies, and consider the role of practice within a university research environment.
