For PhD students - Information about the coronavirus

Can I get an extension of my PhD project as a direct consequence of COVID-19?

You can apply for extension.

  Application form :   English version  -  Danish version  

PhD programme administrator :

• Anthropology, Global Studies and the Study of Religion:  Bodil Bjerring
• Art, Literature and Cultural Studies:  Henriette Jaquet
• Didactics:  Minna Elo
• History, Archaeology and Classical Studies:  Marianne Hoffmeister
• ICT, Media, Communication and Journalism:  Anders Gade Jensen
• Language, Linguistics, Communication, and Cognition:  Marianne Hoffmeister
• Learning and Education:  Minna Elo
• Theology, History of Ideas and Philosophy:  Anders Gade Jensen

AU has decided on a joint procedure for handling the challenges students are facing in relation to completing their PhD projects as a direct consequence of COVID-19, including the physical shutdown of AU.

This joint procedure is based on the political agreements on the phased reopening of the country, in addition to the ‘Circular on the agreement on the possibility of extending temporary employment contracts, as a consequence of delays occurring in connection with COVID-19’.

https://www.retsinformation.dk/eli/retsinfo/2020/9273

The objective of the procedure is to ensure a common point of departure for all PhD students at AU, while at the same time granting the individual graduate school the flexibility to handle the challenges in individual students’ PhD projects in the most appropriate way.

The joint procedure applies to PhD students whose progress has been directly affected by COVID-19, including the physical shutdown of AU that began on 13 March 2020:

• A delay in progress towards the PhD degree must be a direct consequence of COVID-19, including the physical shutdown of AU. 
• All PhD projects that are or may be delayed must be considered individually and through individual dialogue with the principal supervisor and with a statement from the PhD programme directors and head of departments/employer. 
• The nature of the delay in the PhD project must be described, and in the evaluation of the extension, every effort must be made to adjust the individual PhD project so as to allow the student to complete their project as planned. 
• If the PhD project cannot be completed without an extension of the deadline, the amount of additional time to be granted must be calculated on an individual basis. 

https://medarbejdere.au.dk/en/corona/for-phd-students/

An application for extension will not be relevant if you have worked from home taking online courses, written articles or thesis chapters, and been able to continue with parts of your research. If you are in the early stages of your PhD studies, re-planning may allow you to catch up later.

If you are in the final phase of your studies and have been significantly delayed due to the lockdown, discuss the possibilities for completing in due time with your supervisors.

If an extension is deemed necessary, please fill out this application form ( English version  -  Danish version ). Your supervisor, PhD programme director and the head of department may be asked to comment your application after you have sent it to the relevant Graduate School PhD programme administrator (see names above).

All applications will be individually assessed, and we aim to give you a reply as soon as possible.

Research policy & strategy.

In defining artistic research, The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts refers to definitions discussed by the Ministry of Culture in a 2012: whilst they are perceived to be on the same spectrum, artistic research is differentiated from ‘academic research’ in terms of process – the former follows and results in standardized methodologies, the latter is not necessarily systematic or reproducible. Artistic research demands reflection, documentation and communication which develop artistic practices, events and outputs. The current research strategy establishes an infrastructure for sharing individual research, developing projects and consolidating 3 rd cycle provision. The institution aims to promote the place of artistic research and research concerned with art and art theory through at an international collaborations. In developing research, the Academy emphasizes the public-facing role of their exhibition space; support for funding applications; cross-institutional collaborations; exchange of ideas about the nature of ‘artistic research’.

Key research themes

Art Infrastuctures & Collectivity in Art , Media and material research , The Body & More Than Human

Awards Offered

Currently, degrees are validated by the Universities of Copenhagen & Aarhaus.

Thesis (60,000 words)

A committee of 3 examiners (1 internal, 2 external) assess the doctoral submission.

Forms of Output

Exhibition, video, documentation, voice-over texts, performative writings.

Programme Structure

Full-time 3 years

Part-time modes of study are not common.

At the beginning of the programme, students create a research plan which indicates milestones. Students report on, and revise, these milestones 3 times (annually?) during the programme. Students must also undertake 840 hours of teaching or other academic work, and participate in conferences and taught courses (30 ECTS).

There is a mandatory 2 day research ethics course (this is legally instituted). Research methodologies courses are delivered on an elective basis (students may select whatever is felt appropriate for their project). Masterclasses and informal discussions also involve questions of method, with the latter thought to be most helpful.

Undergraduate & Masters Research

Research methodologies are embedded at BFA and MFA level through an ‘Open Practice’ course taught by PhD students with reference to their own research.

Qualification Framework

Quality assurance & enhancement.

Handled by the validating universities.

Supervision

Students work with a primary supervisor. Optionally, they may work with a second supervisor (this is encouraged, and may be an artist).

A total of 60 hours in total across 3 years is allocated to primary supervision; 20 hours to secondary supervision.

Staff training in supervision is informal, and staff are recruited to the institution in general on the standard of their artistic practice, publications and collaborations: there are no minimum qualifications. 3 / 22 hold 3 rd cycle awards; 22 / 26 are engaged in research. There is no formal mechanism to protect or allocate research time as distinct from teaching, but the institution provides support for research funding applications. Workshops and office spaces are available for research use.

Student Admissions

Applicants apply for a ‘hosting agreement’ with the Royal Danish Academy. Applications (abstract, cv, list of publications, research plan) are reviewed by 2 staff members and the Head of Research. A short-list is forwarded to the relevant funding body (usually Novo Nordisk Foundation) who rely on a panel of experts to make the final selections. There is no interview.

There are currently 5 PhD students and 2 post-docs.

Student Funding

Private Scholarships.

Student Support

Students are given a workspace; access to 2-4 master classes; IT facilities; access to supervised labs; assisted in administration of their funding; visibility on the institutional website and in the press. Students may also arrange to exhibit or publish in negotiation with the institution’s exhibition space and publishers (it is not guaranteed).

The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, Schools of Visual Art

International students in Denmark

The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, Schools of Visual Art is an internationally-oriented educational and research institution continuing a more than 250-year-old tradition of developing artistic talent and enterprise to the highest standards, based upon the independent work of each individual student. Through the years, many leading artists have been trained and nurtured here, from Caspar David Friedrich and Bertel Thorvaldsen through Vilhelm Hammershøi to Olafur Eliasson, Kirstine Roepstorff and Jesper Just. Today, the Academy’s Fine Arts Schools have around 200 students and 50 employees, of whom 22 are artistic and academic staff. Art teaching is undertaken by a large staff of professors and lecturers with a background in visual art and who are active in the production of exhibitions, many of them internationally-based. They are supplemented by other employees who are highly skilled in a wide range of technical disciplines. In addition, large numbers of artistic and academic guest lecturers from inside and outside Denmark come to give lectures, hold workshops, and to undertake tutorials and studio visits. Their presence, alongside that of an increasing number of students with a non-Danish ethnic background, is helping to secure a constant supply of new knowledge and experience for the institution. At the Academy’s Fine Arts Schools, the students are involved as much as possible in the organisation of their teaching and, for the duration of their course of study, the personal and academic engagement of students is expected in their practical and academic training. During the first three years, the syllabus and learning program unfold in a relatively restrictive framework, partly in the form of recurrent modules in art history and theory, lecture series and discussion forums. The last three years of the study program are worked out in close co-operation between professor and student and place greater demands on the student’s individual commitment and initiative.  Visit the homepage of the  Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, Schools of Visual Art

Who was Thomas Matthew Crooks? What we know about the suspected Donald Trump rally shooter

A 20-year-old man from Pennsylvania has been identified as the suspect who attempted to assassinate Donald Trump at a political rally in the United States, law enforcement officials said.

Thomas Matthew Crooks has been named as the "subject involved" in the incident, the FBI said in a statement.

Crooks, who was killed by Secret Service snipers at the scene, was from Bethel Park, close to where the rally was held on Saturday local time.

Bethel Park School District confirmed in a statement that Crooks graduated from Bethel Park High School in 2022. 

This is what we know so far about the suspect and how the shooting played out. 

What do we know about the shooter?

Mr Trump was injured when multiple shots were fired at the stage, but the former president's campaign says he is doing "fine".

One attendee was killed and two critically injured in the incident, according to authorities. 

Crooks had not been attending the rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

He is suspected of carrying out the attack from a rooftop on a building outside the event.

Witnesses said they alerted police to a gunman on the roof of the building, which was about 120 metres away from the stage where Mr Trump began giving an address at around 6:02pm (8:02am Sunday AEST).

They spotted the suspected shooter several minutes before shots rung out and Mr Trump fell to the ground, rising moments later with blood streaming down his face.

So far, the FBI has only released Crooks's name, age and where he lived. 

They earlier said the gunman was not carrying identification, so they analysed his DNA to provide a biometric confirmation of his identity. 

Bethel Park, where Crooks lived, is about an hour south of Butler. 

The Federal Aviation Administration said on Sunday that the airspace over the Bethel Park was closed "effective immediately" for special security reasons.

Crooks graduated from Bethel Park High School in 2022, according to a statement from the Bethel Park School District.

"Our school district will cooperate fully with the active law enforcement investigation surrounding this case, and as such, we are limited in what we can publicly disclose," the statement read.

"The school district wishes to express its sincere wishes for a speedy and complete recovery for Mr. Trump and those in attendance at the Saturday event who may have been physically harmed or emotionally impacted by these tragic events." 

He received a $US500 ($740) "star award" from the National Maths and Science Initiative , according to a local media report.

State voter records show that Crooks was a registered Republican and the upcoming election would have been the first time he was old enough to vote.

When Crooks was 17 he made a $US15 donation to ActBlue, a political action committee that raises money for left-leaning and Democratic politicians, according to a 2021 Federal Election Commission filing.

The donation was earmarked for the Progressive Turnout Project, a national group that rallies Democrats to vote. The groups did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.

Crooks's father, Matthew Crooks, 53, told CNN that he was trying to figure out what happened and would wait until he spoke to law enforcement before speaking about his son.

What weapon was involved?

Two officials spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity, saying an AR-style rifle was recovered at the scene.

AR-style rifles are common in mass shootings in the US, said Professor David Smith from the United States Studies Centre.

They are affordable, lightweight and semi-automatic, meaning they can fire multiple rounds quickly. 

Mr Trump was discussing border crossing numbers when the shots, at least five, were fired.

He released a statement on his Truth Social platform describing the moment he was struck.

"I was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear. I knew immediately that something was wrong in that I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin," he wrote.

Up to a dozen of the deadliest mass shootings in the US since 2006 have involved an AR-15.

Semi-automatic rifles such as the AR-15 have been banned in the past, but are currently widely available in most states. 

President Joe Biden has been calling to reinstate a nationwide ban that expired in 2004.

"One of my fears is that even though most of the major assassination attempts of the 20th century actually led to significant advances in gun control, this one will not," Professor Smith told ABC News channel.

"This doesn't seem like a moment where Americans are going to ask themselves whether things have gone too far with this violence.

"Instead, this seems more like a moment that is going to accelerate the current polarisation."

Possible motives?

The FBI, which is leading the investigation, told reporters that it's too early to say whether the shooter acted alone and have not provided a motive.

But police do not believe there is "any other existing threat out there".

The FBI is calling for people with video of the event or information to share it with authorities.

Professor Claire Finkelstein from the University of Pennsylvania Law School, said we are likely to learn more about possible motives in the coming days.

She noted there has been an increase in political violence. 

"We have seen an increase in violent rhetoric around political events of all sorts, and political cause," Professor Finkelstein told ABC News. 

"And the irony is, of course, that Trump himself has fomented some of this violent rhetoric. 

"I think this is a lesson to all of us about how dangerous it is for politicians to increase the violent rhetoric around their campaigns and around their causes."

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and US Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle have briefed President Joe Biden.

They are working with law enforcement partners to respond to and investigate the shooting, Mr Mayorkas said on X.

Republican US House Speaker Mike Johnson also said the House will conduct a full investigation of the attack on Trump's campaign rally.

"The American people deserve to know the truth," Mr Johnson said.

"We will have Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle and other appropriate officials from DHS and the FBI appear for a hearing before our committees ASAP."

Department of Arts and Cultural Studies

Art and health.

Our research attends to the role of the arts in human experiences of health, and the role of health in artistic practice. We conceptualise “health” as an intersectional constellation of diverse physical, physiological, mental, and psychological experiences spanning socio-cultural and biomedical constructions of illness, wellness, ability, disability, injury, aging, trauma, etc.

By fostering interdisciplinary dialogue at the intersection of the arts and health, we situate the arts as an urgent, creative arena of public health discourse. We analyse diverse material, digital, and metaphorical articulations of health across the arts, and their function within larger socio-economic, political, and relational ecologies. By unmooring the study of health from the exclusive purview of biomedical research and clinical practice, our work builds on scholarship in disability studies and Mad studies, while centralising the place of the arts in the medical humanities. 

• How do the arts shape human experiences of health and pathology?
• How do the arts reinforce and upend normative conceptions of human embodiment and neurology?
• How can artistic practice be a catalyst for new forms health awareness, social advocacy, and human biocultural diversity?     

Focus areas

Expressive cultures.

Visual, textual, performative and musical representations of disability, depression, anxiety, contagion, trauma, etc.

Design cultures

Physical, atmospheric and performative design and accessibility of medical spaces, technologies, digital health platforms, art institutions, etc.

Social histories

Historic artistic discourse on epidemics; madness, hysteria, melancholia; pathologisation of LGBTQ people; housing reform and biopolitics, etc.

Ecological entanglements

Art’s advocacy on impact of global environmental and socio-economic conditions on human physical and mental health.

Therapeutic applications

Art’s therapy in medical and non-medical settings including music therapy; Theatre of the Oppressed; creative writing workshops; support groups, etc.

Focus on health in arts & and humanities pedagogy to facilitate more diverse, inclusive and holistic learning paradigms.

Heritage Foundation Head Refers to ‘Second American Revolution’

Kevin Roberts, president of the group that has coordinated the Project 2025 policy plan, said it could be “bloodless if the left allows it to be.”

By Maggie Astor

The president of the Heritage Foundation, a right-wing think tank that has developed a prominent series of policy plans to overhaul the federal government under a Republican president, said on Tuesday that the country was “in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.”

The group’s president, Kevin D. Roberts, made the comments in an interview on “The War Room,” the Trump adviser Stephen K. Bannon’s show on the network Real America’s Voice. (Mr. Bannon himself did not host the show on Tuesday, because he reported to prison the day before to serve a sentence for contempt of Congress.)

Mr. Roberts was discussing the Supreme Court’s ruling on Monday that presidents have substantial immunity from prosecution for what they do in office, a ruling that upended the criminal case against former President Donald J. Trump for his attempts to overturn the 2020 election and that removes a potential barrier to the most radical elements of his second-term agenda if he is elected again.

“We ought to be really encouraged by what happened yesterday, and in spite of all of the injustice — which of course friends and audience of this show, of our friend Steve, know — we are going to prevail,” Mr. Roberts said, alluding to Mr. Bannon’s imprisonment.

He went on to say that “the radical left” was “apoplectic” because “our side is winning” and said, “And so I come full circle in this response and just want to encourage you with some substance that we are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.”

“Right on. Thank you, brother,” the interviewer, former Representative Dave Brat of Virginia, replied.
