Hello Nathan

This GLAD conference looks very interesting but unfortunately I am unable to attend due to a prior appointment.

I would be interested in any feedback from the conference.

Hopefully I will make one in the future.

Kind regards

Scarlett Holland

Hello All,







I'm afraid we've (Myself included) not been great at getting any dialogues going via this Network. That will certainly be as we are all far to busy. However I do think we can all benefit from this mail group and will get out some more engaging topics for us to discuss in the coming weeks.







For now I am sending out conference information for the Group for Learning and teaching in Art & Design, this may not be applicable to everyone but it would be great if people can make it along. The details are below, I'll be running a technician focused event day two and I would say if you can't make it to both Thursday and Friday you could join just for the Friday where the tech group will meet.







Details below:

Group for Learning in Art and Design



GLAD Conference 2015

Controversy and Conformity – 25 years of transforming the academy



Venue: Sheffield Institute of Arts, Sheffield Hallam University



Cost: £95



Thursday 26th February (2:00-4:30pm) - Pedagogic Network: Pre-conference Meeting Friday 27th February (10:30am-4:30pm) - Conference



The Group for Learning in Art and Design was formed twenty five years ago in response to changes in higher education which were to impact on how art and design was taught in higher and further education and specialist art schools. Early changes, such as modularisation, the massification of higher education, widening participation and the development of postgraduate courses brought both challenges and opportunities, which were the focus of much debate. The responses from the Art and Design sector were often viewed as controversial, ‘different’ and indicative of a discipline reluctant to conform.

More recently the introduction of student fees and then higher fees, competition for students, internationalisation, employability, REF, NSS and a focus on the student experience continues to shape how we teach art and design, where we teach and how students learn. These are the key drivers for all disciplines. So, have we transformed the academy or has the academy transformed art and design?

This conference offers the opportunity for academic staff, technical staff and research students to consider the purpose and value of art and design pedagogy in an increasingly complex, fast- paced environment and the space to reflect and learn from past experiences, in order to develop strategies, practices and techniques for the future.
