Recent experience of facilitating, including any specific techniques or approaches worked with:
In 2003 I undertook a training course on the “Creative University”, exploring interactive ways of developing creative solutions to problems. which I have since used and adapted. I have facilitated workshops in staff development at several universities including, the University of Brighton, Duncan of Jordanstone School of Art and Design, Glasgow School of Art, Ravensbourne College of Design and Communication, University of Sussex. I have used creative facilitation techniques in conference workshops for the HEA, the Group for Learning in Art and Design and the Centre for Education in the Built Environment, and for students in art, design and media at the University of Brighton, Swansea Metropolitan University, Edinburgh College of Art and the University of the Arts.
Experience of supporting or working with the relationship between creative practice and teaching.
My current role is focused on supporting teachers in art, design and media HE through the ADM-HEA team in its delivery of resources to the teaching community. More directly I have undertaken research in the areas of entrepreneurship education, visual learning and research and teacher-practitioners in art, design and media HE. More specifically our most recent research project, Looking-Out, builds on work I have undertaken with a wide range of agencies and individuals on the engagements between creative and cultural industries, organisations and individuals in the art, design and media communities.
