Graduate Student in Contemporary Art Art History Curatorial Studies or Culturalethnic Studies
We're doing something no i else has washed—we've radically reconceived the PhD degree based on the premise that creative thinking lies at the centre of innovation in all fields.
The PhD in Inventiveness is a low-residency degree for advanced interdisciplinary enquiry in the arts, humanities, sciences and social sciences. This first-of-its-kind PhD offers unique features not found elsewhere: intensive immersion in creative thinking, cross-disciplinary workshops for dissertation evolution, and professionally achieved advisors from outside the academy whose selection is tailored to best serve each unique dissertation.
This programme can teach a practitioner in any field— scientific discipline, medicine, business, engineering, healthcare, the social sciences, the nonprofit earth and even the arts—to think more creatively.
The Program'southward Philosophy
All PhD programs crave a dissertation that makes "an original contribution to knowledge." Yet subsequently steeping the candidate in the existing literature and methods, they offer no guidance on how to movement beyond them. At University of the Arts, our PhD is almost fundamentally irresolute the fashion our students recollect. We seek students who accept already accomplished a professional mastery in some discipline, and we prepare them to go to another level. We show them how to be open to finding that moment when ideas that didn't seem to take anything to practise with one another suddenly come up together to ask or reply a question, create a solution to a problem, produce a new invention. This immersion in the arts tin can teach a practitioner in any field—scientific discipline, medicine, concern, engineering, healthcare, the social sciences, the nonprofit globe and fifty-fifty the arts—to call up more than creatively.
A 3-Year PhD
The PhD in Creativity is a three-year, dissertation-simply program.
Most PhD programs require six or seven years to consummate. Such programs begin with a thorough training in a field's methods and base of operations knowledge and administer a qualifying exam after this training is complete. The PhD in Creativity's application serves as that qualifying test; we examine an applicant's MA or other training, professional feel and dissertation proposal to make up one's mind their readiness to enter our PhD and begin their dissertation.
The 2-Week Inventiveness Immersion
All transformative piece of work—even in applied science, science and social science—depends upon intuition and nonlinear thought. Yes, we need the rigors of the scientific method and the data base of knowledge. Yet to take innovation to another level, nosotros also need to transcend the hierarchies of conventional training. And the arts offering the most consciously developed disciplines of nonlinear and integrative thinking.
The PhD in Creativity begins with inventiveness itself: Artistic thinking is in the Dna of our faculty, and no university is better equipped to teach it. The PhD commences in mid-June with the Creativity Immersion. During this two-week residency, students are immersed in a curated sequence of arts experiences for an intense course in inventiveness. Each cohort presents their proposal for a grouping critique by their fellow students and faculty. They then reframe that proposal every day, through a wide variety of artistic lenses. Since each cohort draws from a range of disciplines, candidates are forced to jettison disciplinary jargon and hone in on their ideas.
Informed by daily experiences in different creative practices, students revise their proposals into working drafts. Later on the Creativity Immersion, students apply these revised proposals to build their dissertation committees, in consultation with the program managing director.
Other Residency Courses
In mid-June of the offset yr, students come to University of the Arts for the Creativity Immersion. The cohort reconvenes in Jan and then again in the 2d summer of the plan for challenging, interdisciplinary one-week seminars.
The Origins of this Program
UArts President and CEO David Yager and Program Director Jonathan Fineberg met in 2015 at a conference on cantankerous-disciplinary thinking in fine art and science sponsored by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering science and Medicine (function of the National Academies Keck Futures Initiative). Well known for his pathfinding piece of work in medicine and fine art, the academies had asked David Yager to serve on the steering committee. The organizers asked Jonathan Fineberg to speak nearly his new book Modern Art at the Border of Mind and Brain which crosses psychoanalysis and neuroscience with art criticism for a fresh perspective on creative thinking. At this conference, Jonathan and David began a conversation that led to their collaboration in creating this radically reconceived PhD. On the premise that creative thinking lay at the heart of innovation in all fields, information technology seemed appropriate to offer this first-ever PhD in Inventiveness—irrespective of the field of enquiry—in an art schoolhouse and to begin with an intensive focus on creative thinking.

Programme Director Dr. Jonathan Fineberg reviews the Barnes Foundation's exhibition, Water, Air current, Breath: Southwest Native Art in the Barnes Foundation, in the Brooklyn Rail:
[The exhibition] shows us a glimpse of the cosmic scheme of the Navajo and Pueblo worlds. [Information technology] also provides examples of living artists finding ways to configure their own individuality within those nonetheless evolving cultures. This helps us empathize something nearly ourselves and our own culture(s) too.... The mode of looking that permeates the Barnes collection, the deliberately perplexing discourses that Barnes set up up in his "ensembles" of objects, pushes usa to see his collections, like this exhibition, in a constant flux of fresh relationships between things. Information technology aspires to promote a radical openness and prompts us to rethink how nosotros see ourselves—our past and our present—and how we run into the earth.
