Abstract
Currently art, architecture and design education encourages studio learning and practice-led research. While a positive development in the recognition of creative arts research, history and theory may have become even more peripheral in some universities. The Theory Spine initiative addresses this issue by offering a backbone of history and theory which connects various strands of practice and research. This project offers more than a conventional history and theory program; it provides individual research-defined pathways towards postgraduate study for undergraduate and Honours students. The Spine (in the form of a lively provocative website,connected courses, a teaching network, and ‘Spinal Rap’ seminars) provides an innovativearterial system with which to navigate and build an individual degree and/or career in art,architecture and design.
