About

This interdisciplinary conference and exhibition are open to the public and feature the work of students from across The Bartlett Faculty of the Built Environment听who are developing or concluding their doctoral research (MPhil/PhD).

Both the conference and the exhibition aim to encourage discussions between students, staff, invited guests and critics and the public, and will take place online for the first time. The conference will be split between two afternoons (23 and 25 February 2021) and the exhibition will run for two weeks (23 February 鈥� 09 March 2021).听

Last year鈥檚 exhibition ended in the final days before The Bartlett shut for the UK鈥檚 first lockdown. With all doctoral students working at home since then, and in more than one country, Research Projects 2021 constitutes thinking, doing, research, work and conversations practised at a distance.

The accompanying PhD International Lecture Series听evening panel event,听held on the evening between the two conference dates (24 February 2021), will be a dialogue between the critics for the conference and will directly address the theme of 鈥榙istance鈥� in current research and teaching practice.听
