PGR Placements: Reflections on Research Practice

Tom Hastings, Elspeth Mitchell and Rose-Anne Gush will be presenting on their experiences of the funding opportunities and placements undertaken alongside their postgraduate research.

The doctoral students (based in the School of Fine Art, History of Art and Cultural Studies) have undertaken research internship visits and archive study and will share their experiences; providing a discussion of how these opportunities relate to their PhD research and how it has influenced their thinking and research practice.

Elspeth Mitchell will be discussing her White Rose College of the Arts & Humanities (WRoCAH) funded research trip to Helsinki and residency with Frame Contemporary Arts Finland.

Rose-Anne Gush will be reflecting on what she has found, learned and translated at/from the Elfriede Jelinek Forschungszentrum and related archives in Vienna. This was funded by a Zantop Travel Award from the Coalition of Women in Germany.

Tom Hastings will be talking about his trip to visit the Yvonne Rainer papers at the Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles, which was funded by the AHRC’s RTM-L scheme.
