Dr. Arts: Doing a PhD in the Arts and Design
The podcast is a platform for the discussion of all issues relating to practice-based PhDs in the arts and design and thus will become an information-rich database for all people interested in these issues, from prospective to current PhD students, from supervisors to PhD-program leaders, and for anyone inside or outside of academics interested in the topics discussed. The podcast will be open to a wide and diverse range of voices.
This podcast is a cooperation between the following institutions:

Dr. Arts: Doing a PhD in the Arts and Design
The Department of Seaweed: A Deep Look at Material Culture and Communities of Practice.
Julia Lohmann investigates and critiques the ethical and material value systems underpinning our relationship with flora and fauna. In 2013, during her PhD, she established the Department of Seaweed, an interdisciplinary community of practice exploring the marine plant's potential as a design material. Julia talks about what inspired her PhD, the challenges she encountered, and the joy of digging deep into a subject.
Julia Lohmann is a Professor of Practice in Contemporary Design at Aalto University and is interviewed by Axel Vogelsang from the Lucerne School of Design, Film and Art.
