Abstract
This book offers insights into the supervisory practices of academics at RMIT University, in Melbourne, Australia, whose postgraduate candidates are undertaking research by project in art, creative writing, architecture and design. Over the past two decades there has been a decisive shift internationally in the focus of these disciplines towards an emphasis on applied practice-led research undertaken through project-based investigations. This model offers an effective means to conduct research on knowledge both embodied in, and discovered through discipline-specific art, architecture and design practices.
