This Volume is dedicated to doctoral work from the AVPhD Network – AVPhD was the name given to an AHRC funded training and support network for all those doing, supervising and examining audio-visual practice based doctorates. The network was launched in September 2005 after it had been suggested that HE institutions were working with a number of different models of the relation between theory and practice, and with differing expectations about what is submissable at PhD level. As a consequence, the AVPhD Network was set up by the University of Westminster to provide collaborative training provision for doctoral students (alongside supervisors and examiners).
Volume 2 was edited by Professor Jon Dovey and associate editor Govinda Dickman. The DVD was originally distributed with a dedicated volume of The Journal of Media Practice Volume 9.1 (March 2008). The DVD of Volume 2 is available for purchase – please contact us if you’d like to buy an individual copy or purchase one for your library.
In addition to this special issue, Screenworks publishes on a rolling basis with each volume running from Sept to August. To submit work please read our submissions guidelines and use our online submission form. If you are interested in submitting your practice and want further advice, then please contact us on admin@screenworks.org.uk with “Submissions” in the subject line.
