UNIVERSITY OF PORTO. Faculty of Fine Arts

The FBAUP has created a 3rd Cycle Degree Programme in Art Education placed within the Institute of Research in Art, Design and Society – i2ADS.
This Programme has been developed with consciousness and recognition that the Art Education has lingered in the discourses of either Art or Education. Therefore it is absolutely necessary to bring forward its specificity as its own field of action and production of knowledge thus renewing its narratives by establishing a bond with modernity. To do so it also means to untie the present privileged relationship with Visual Arts promoting the agoing growth of its field as non-disciplinary one. This demands a careful exposition of the conceptions of art and its interpretation, developing a critical understanding of the way these conceptions rally particular discourses and educational practices.
This position puts us in a space of questioning in which the traditional boundaries between disciplines are broken, in the urgency of theoretical and cultural shifts, where the hegemonic discourse of the West is placed in crisis. The development of projects in formal and informal contexts powers a necessary research to review strategies and the production of conceptual spaces of action. Necessary for the production of knowledge for the Arts Education that is not evidently encapsulated within the borders of the academy. In this manner the traditional scientific research methodologies are unavoidably questioned to configure new ones, which may be not confined to written text, opened to their involvement in performative actions which are its substance.
The Doctorate Course in Art Education is organized on the first academic year, where these referred questions are brought forward to propel individual and shared dynamics of research that aim to engender the doctorate theses that will be developed within the next two years.
This Phd in Art Education engages directly in the research work conducted within the Center for Arts Education of the i2ADS – Institute for Research in Art, Design and Society – and invites the students to host their doctorate research projects in the fields of investigation already in working progress or to introduce other clusters of irreverence. The areas of interest of this Research Center are established in particular fields of concerns, open to all sorts of approach: i) Art, Education and Development; ii) Action/Research in formal and informal contexts. Transversely to all the centers of research at the i2ADS there is a common area of interest ‘Contemporary thought and research in Art Education’.
The PhD in Art Education is being configured within a network of international relationships through: the creation of an ‘European Network for Arts Education’; the ‘International Conferences on Arts Education’; the protocols of cooperation with Cape Verde, Mozambique and Barcelona; and the research projects in progress.
