You will be part of a growing doctoral research environment and will study alongside students from Northern Ireland and abroad. We supervise students undertaking research in- The design and delivery of cultural policy and the interpretation of these processes by arts managers and policy makers, The attachment of social policy areas to cultural policy, The social processes of cultural production within institutional settings,, Access, participation and audience development in the arts. The School welcomes applications for research, which are underpinned by empirical and/or theoretical methodologies. We are also interested in action-research and practice-based methods as well as those methods that are stakeholder engaged, inclusive and/or collaborative. We have a strong commitment to the development of interdisciplinary approaches that take account of culture, policy and management as historical and social processes
