Notes on the Value of a Design PhD
Much has been written about practice-based research – and design-based research, speci!cally.

Much has been written about practice-based research – and design-based research, speci!cally. In the vast body of literature and growing discussions about PhD studies in design (Durling 2002; Schwarzenbach and Hackett 2015; Vaughan 2017; Vaughan and Morrison 2014), strong arguments have been raised to persuade ‘traditional’ academia to allocate design its proper place and acknowledge design research as a scientific methodology – and accordingly, to provide design researchers with PhDs (Anderson and Shattuck 2012; Goff and Getaenet 2017; LaMere 2012). This paper joins this effort by reframing this discourse’s fundamental assumptions and motivations while offering a theoretical framework that grounds the disciplinary hold in the academic realm.
