Transferring Experiences from a Photography Practice Research PhD Study into a Creative Practice-Teaching Context

Keywords: 

Discipline: 

Photography, Film & Multimedia

In this paper, I reflect on the transferability of the experience of completing a practice-based, as well as the findings of this PhD into my current teaching context in relation to recent developments and relevant literature. While my own study might have made several contributions to my field, and to my own personal development, I critically examine the scope and scale of my final PhD submission in relation to requirements stipulated by various South African institutions that are currently offering PhDs in visual arts and design, as well as recently awarded practice-based (or practice-led) studies in these fields.

Using Digital Imaging Technology to Decolonize Education in a Museum Context

Keywords: 

Discipline: 

Software, UX & Game Design
