AHRA Regional Research Student Forum:
School of Architecture, University of Sheffield
20th October 2004
Programme
Call for papers:
A one-day event, to be organised
by postgraduate students from the University of Sheffield, the
Forum aims to give architectural research students working in
the humanities an opportunity to present their work to an audience
of their peers. Participants will have the chance to gain useful
feedback on their own work and to form an overview of the interests
and methodologies of other researchers in the field.
The event will close with a lecture from Kim
Dovey, Professor of Architecture and Urban Design, University
of Melbourne. The Forum is held in association with AHRA (Architectural
Humanities Research Association). The Forum will not be refereed
– rather, the emphasis will be on mutual criticism. Traditional-style
conference papers will be welcome, but potential participants
are invited to talk about their methodology or work they intend
to do. Those just starting out on their PhDs will be as welcome
as those who have nearly completed. Presentations on any topic
within the architectural humanities will be considered acceptable
– we hope that diversity may encourage debate. Participants
will be allocated a half-hour slot in which they will be expected
to give a 15-20 minute presentation of their work, and then
take questions. Any student currently engaged on a full-time
or part-time degree at MPhil or PhD level from a school of architecture
in the Midlands region* working in the humanities can give a
presentation at the Forum. Academic staff are invited to join
the audience.
Application Procedure:
There will be no vetting procedure for the
Forum. We would ask that any student who wishes to present send
an abstract of 300- 500 words in length so that we can place
participants in an appropriate session. We would be grateful
if applicants could let us know what equipment they would need
to deliver their presentation (data projectors, slide projectors
and overhead projectors will be available).
The deadline for applications is Friday 24th
September, 2004. Please send abstracts in the body of the e-mail
(not as attachments) to Alan Lewis at arp01apl@sheffield.ac.uk.
Please note that there will be no charge for
attendance at the Forum. Further Details Details of the Forum
