about
I am a researcher, artist, pedagogue and Professor of Pedagogy and Praxis. I explore the praxis entanglements of making and learning underpinned with new materialist theories using empirical, embodied and material practice research methods and methodologies. I conceive pedagogy as an open, continuously made and remade praxis that is embodied, emplaced, material, generative, emancipatory, enabling social and educational change.
Through and with practice (artistic and pedagogic) research, I bring creative philosophy together with practice and theory, advancing new ways of understanding the cultural politics of making objects and events and how materials, processes, pedagogies and theory can enable the questioning and disruption of many forms of dominance that exist in our society.
I am leading on the Goldsmiths partnership with Arts Council England for the national delivery of the learning programme for the Artsmark Award and was the Head of the practice research PhD Art Practice and Learning programme (2016-2023) and the Academic Director for International Development and Academic Partnerships from 2019-2023.
I examine, assess and review: grant applications, academic programmes, PhD submissions, articles and monograph manuscripts and proposals
