Consultations on Doctoral Projects in the Arts

These consultations are led by Dr. art. Elina Akselrud and are aimed at doctoral applicants and candidates in the arts who seek guidance with proposals, presentations, and interviews in the field of artistic academia.

With a strong background in artistic research and a doctorate completed with distinction, Elina offers support grounded in firsthand experience of academic systems, artistic methodology, and interdisciplinary research through the art.

Consultations may include:

• Developing and refining doctoral proposals

• Clarifying research questions and artistic frameworks

• Preparing for interviews and presentations

• Structuring artistic research projects

The focus is on helping candidates articulate their artistic vision clearly, rigorously, and convincingly — without compromising artistic integrity.

Consultations are suitable for artists in any concentration or media, looking to either get into (or through!) an artistic doctoral program. :)
