WHY DOES PARIP FOCUS ON ADVANCED RESEARCH, AS OPPOSED TO POSTGRADUATE RESEARCH?
PARIP’s research remit, as set out in its application to the AHRB (http://www.ahrb.ac.uk), is to detail the full range and major types of approach to practice as research in UK Higher Education Institutions, in the context of advanced research and the Research Assessment Exercise (http://www.rae.ac.uk). PALATINE (http://www.lancs.ac.uk/palatine/ ), the UK Council for Graduate Education (http://www.ukcge.ac.uk) and the subject-orientated professional bodies covering higher education: SCUDD Standing Conference on University Drama Departments (http://art.ntu.ac.uk/scudd/), SCODHE Standing Conference on Dance in Higher Education and AMPE Association of Media Practice Educators are more specifically concerned with postgraduate and learning and teaching issues.
