Universities around the world are now debating the PhD degree in art and design—and whether to award it. Among the central questions: Is this a research degree as in other fields or a degree for advanced professional practice? If it is a research degree, how should we define artistic research or design research? Should there be multiple models for the PhD degree or several? If there are several, should all degrees represent any common standards? As the world’s leading journal of art, science and technology, Leonardo has a crucial stake in the answers to these questions. Over three years from 2017, the Leonardo Symposium on the PhD in Art and Design will serve as a forum for expert inquiry and debate on the PhD degree in the creative arts, in design and in the interdisciplinary field of artscience.
