PhDs that involve creative practice present particular challenges that may make themselves evident as knotty questions in the student’s mind:
- What research tradition am I part of – does it have any rules?
- What precedents can I appeal to in framing my research process?
- How can I do justice to my experiences in reporting my research?
- Are there risks in using ideas from other fields?
- How can I build claims to knowledge from experiences/ artefacts/ actions?
- What are valid material forms for my thesis?
