Apologies if this is an inappropriate use of this forum.

I am considering submitting a research proposal in October to my university for a 1-year project along the lines of exploring the development of graphic design students’ (and potentially our discipline’s?) understanding of theory through practical work. The research would straddle pedagogy and critical theory.

The project is still in its formative phase but follows on from small scale action research I undertook this year and which I have mentioned in passing a few times on this forum.

After having read some of the comments around here I would welcome any expressions of interest in collaboration if colleagues feel this is an area they would like to explore with a view to international dissemination.

There would need to be a formal agreement at institutional level (including funding arrangements) but I am happy to discuss proposals of collaboration with anyone who is interested. It might be a useful project for new researchers, but I am happy to work with old hands as well (I am fairly green myself).

Any expressions of interest welcome to me at artistry@mac.com.
