Writing in the Academy: the practice-based thesis as an evolving genre

University of Sydney and University of New South Wales
Project Leaders: Brian Paltridge, University of Sydney; Sue Starfield, University of New South Wales; and Louise Ravelli, University of New South Wales
Research Project Co-ordinator: Sarah Nicholson (email: sarahn@usyd.edu.au, ph: 02 9036 5400)

This study investigates the practice-based doctoral thesis in the creative and performing arts, an alternative thesis type that is still in a process of development. The project aims to identify the range and extent to which practice-based theses are being submitted for doctoral degrees in the creative and performing arts in Australian universities and the particular nature and character of these texts. The study will make a significant contribution to academic literacies research by defining the range of current practices in the area and the desirable character of a doctoral thesis written in practice-based areas of study.
