About
I am an art historian interested in the relationships between art and education and the role of participation in both. As Course Leader for the BA (Hons) Fine Art and Art History, I am engaged with the various ways in which history, theory and practice interact.
I am a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. I have worked with students on co-creating the curriculum and processes of decolonising. I'm interested in ecologies of theory and practice in the art school and am currently undertaking ethnographic research on the art school.
