“Creativity
is possible in all areas of human activity, including the arts, sciences, at
work, at play and in all other areas of daily life. All people have
creative abilities and we all have them differently. When individuals find
their creative strengths, it can have an enormous impact on self-esteem and
on overall achievement.” -
Robinson, K. et al (1999) All our futures:
Creativity, Culture and Education, Report to the National Advisory Committee
on Creative and Cultural Education |

The
2010 cltad international conference will focus on curriculum design in art
and design Higher Education meeting the challenges of changing times and demands.
As old discipline structures are eroded, new liaisons are emerging. On one
hand, art and design reach out and connect with other disciplines,
influencing all aspects of society and how we live. On the other hand,
creativity, which we have perhaps regarded as the prerogative of art and
design, is increasingly being recognised as significant and central in every
discipline. Building on the 2008 conference we want to explore where
boundaries to disciplinary uniqueness are becoming blurred and where collaborations
between the disciplines are being built, sometimes by intent and occasionally
by chance. We
are interested in contributions: •
that challenge the concept of discipline •
those that reinforce or extend existing notions of discipline •
from interdisciplinary courses •
from multidisciplinary courses •
from student–led programmes •
from joint programmes of study •
that enable students to have skills in multiple competences •
from single curriculum programmes •
from new courses with an industrial focus •
evaluating the impact of widening participation on curriculum •
evaluating the impact of interdisciplinarity on assessment |

Contributions
Research
papers: (45 minutes, including 15 mins discussion) These
papers should adopt accepted research principles, using recognised methodologies
within an evaluative context. The application of existing research outcomes
to new scenarios is perfectly acceptable as long as they
demonstrate an awareness of the relevant research literature and have an
evaluation of the impact of the research or any developmental change.
Descriptive or explanatory accounts of curriculum design etc are insufficient
in this context to count as research. (Full paper length 5000 words) Conceptual
papers: (30 minutes, including 30 mins discussion) These will be more
polemical with a focus on challenging accepted orthodoxies within the
disciplines through various forms of analysis and interpretation.
Contextualisation through reference to current debates in learning and
teaching will be expected. (Full paper length 3000 words) Work
in progress/Showcases (45 minutes) These
sessions allow colleagues, to discuss their existing or emerging projects,
where they have developed effective practices, with a ‘work in progress’ or
showcase session, to share and receive constructive criticsm and support from
the conference. Submissions
Colleagues
wishing to present at this conference should submit either an abstract of no
more than 500 words or a full paper. Full paper submissions will be double-blind
refereed prior to the conference, for international standard recognition. All
submissions should address one or more of the discipline areas. They should
be written in English, and structured with the following sections: title,
author(s), institution(s), discipline(s), objectives, and, where appropriate,
research methods, results, and conclusions. (Please
note that when published the proceedings of the conference will include
refereed research, conceptual papers and symposia. Work in progress/showcases
will only be published on cd). |
