‘Arts learning development’: 10 years of UAL-wide Academic Support. Exhibition. UAL: EdEx 2024, London, UK.
A celebration and opportunity to showcase a decade of practice — the brilliant team UAL Academic Support I have been a part of for nine years, took part in the UAL Education Conference ExEd24 held at Central Saint Martins on 9th July.
It was an opportunity to share our work with the wider UAL community and reflect on our practice. In addition to the installation, we made postcards, updated bios, gathered artefacts and other such jobs that often get neglected in hectic academic life. Thanks to Natasha for suggesting I include a post card for the Power of Action webinar I did with my sister Andra, a resource available for our students.
Huge thank you to Graham Barton for the vision, Natasha, James and Lyndsay for putting it all together and to this inspiring team I am proud to be a part of.
More about the conference organised by the Teaching, Learning and Employability Exchange here:
The first Academic Support Strategy 2013-16 created a new University-wide Academic Support offer. Our first workshop, our first online resource and our first lines of code written for Academic Support Online, all started 10 years ago. This mini-exhibition / installation shared artefacts and reflections on our multi- and transdisciplinary approach to the creative practices and learning spaces we have developed for students, with a particular focus on using applied and practice-based creative research methodologies. We shared our questions – what has driven the design of the offer – the pedagogies, critical conversations and learning research – and invite further questions!
Installation and contributors: Talitha Balan, Graham Barton, James Blake, Ilga Leimanis, David McGovern, Lyndsay Phillips, Alicia Monedero-Chaves, Adam Ramejkis, Natasha Sabatini, Sukhwinder Sagoo-Reddy, Jhinuk Sarkar, Victoria Salmon, Paul Thrippleton.
