Dissertation Support Requested

BEGGING - I AM UNDER DEADLINE
(I know you know what that's like!)

IRB Protocol number 10303

Study: Business Coursework &/or other preparation for an Applied Arts career in Marketing

Hello!

        I am begging for a total of 40 minutes of your time! Openly asking if you or anyone you know would be willing to contact me to do

·         a survey (17 questions in 2 parts),

·         an interview (conversationally about 15 to 20 questions),

·         and to share some images (as you deem significant) …

… as part of my dissertation.

            Criteria is that they graduated from one of 42 AICAD accredited schools (http://www.aicad.org/) as an illustration major. There would be an informed consent form (all individual results are confidential) and your total commitment, all inclusive, is –planned for under 50 minutes. Respondents will receive aggregate level results (confidentiality assured).

            I am a doctoral candidate at Argosy University School of Business, with a BFA from UArts in Illustration, and as an educator of 30+ years, a university professor for much of that, I sense something of a potential  gap in curriculum.  The research seeks to confirm suspicions that may exist, further the conversation about what constitutes success, and otherwise shed light on the relationship between right and left brain paradigms, applied arts and business. This is intended as foundational research.

            Research is later intended as regards this consideration and other applied arts.  Further research may also venture what business can learn from the arts and vice versa.  What inherent default boundaries of thinking and behavior occur based on these right / left-brain considerations.  Cultures generally and specific to business, to the arts, and any role education plays in exacerbating such divisions, pro or con (and more).

   Thank you,

   Frank Davis
