Examining the PhD in creative writing

The PhD is the exit award for Creative Writing in Australia, New Zealand, the U.K., and increasingly in the U.S. This international panel debates key issues around its examination, such as standards, rigour, ethics, and research methodology. It also considers the challenge of interdisciplinary and hybrid theses, mediocre creative work accompanied by excellent critical work, and the lack of standard examination policies and procedures.
