Teaching
I am interested in practice-based teaching of curatorial skills and principles. I have a longstanding career as an independent curator and understand the skillset necessary for contributing to curatorial debate, at the same time developing opportunities for practice in the expanded field and developing new audiences.
I am Programme Leader for MA Contemporary Curating and Module Leader for both ARTD6212 Curator as Practitioner and ARTD6214 Dissertation: Final Project. I also teach occasional sessions for BA and MA Fine Art, and Postgraduate Research at WSA.
I'm sorry, but I'm not currently taking on PhD students.
