ABSTRACT

Artistic practice has a well-established presence in graduate research training. Extant writing on creative arts doctorates considers various issues, ranging from policy and process requirements to programme design, and the nature of the text itself. In the disciplinary domain of music, narrative accounts are often employed toexplore doctoral candidates’ decisions to pursue practice-based doctorates. This article builds on this approach by comparing and contrasting the experiences of three creative and performing arts doctoral candidates from Australia. It describes their attraction to the doctorate and their motives for undertaking doctoral study, with the aim of enhancing our understanding of arts industry professionals as graduate research candidates.

摘要

艺术实践在研究生研究培训中占有一席之地。现有的创意艺术博士学位写作考虑了各种问题，从政策和流程要求到程序设计，以及文本本身的性质。在音乐学科领域，叙事性叙述经常被用来探索博士候选人攻读基于实践的博士学位的决定。本文通过比较和对比来自澳大利亚的三位创意和表演艺术博士生的经历，以此方法为基础。它描述了他们对博士学位的吸引力以及他们进行博士研究的动机，目的是提高我们对艺术行业专业人士作为研究生研究候选人的理解。
