Aims & Scope

The journal Art, Design & Communication in Higher Education strives to promote and share pedagogic research in art, design and communication disciplines. This peer-reviewed journal encompasses creative disciplines taught in a range of higher education contexts, including Art Schools, Colleges and Universities. The journal focuses on the pedagogies associated with all aspects of creative practice education – from theory and practice to online elements of studio-based courses. In its commitment to the enhancement of learning and teaching methods through research, the journal offers detailed accounts of specific research projects. By using the findings of these enquiries, contributors reveal the potential value of new educational strategies and stimulate the advancement of creative teaching methods.

The journal offers a platform for critical engagement with the diverse teaching practices associated with art, design and communication. Contributors are invited to examine the commonalties between art, design and communication pedagogy as well as being encouraged to consider the distinctive teaching approaches adopted within the various and many sub disciplines, including fashion, graphic design, media, product design and cultural studies.

Special Issue Call for Papers

'Exploring Situatedness’

The peer-reviewed international journal Art, Design & Communication in Higher Education seeks submissions for a Special Issue on place-based learning entitled ‘Exploring Situatedness’. This call is a partnership with the European Institute of Arts (ELIA) in alignment with the theme for the ELIA Academy in Portugal in May 2023 (https://elia-artschools.org/page/ELIAAcademy2023). For the purposes of this call, place-based learning is defined as 'higher education educational experiences that intentionally integrate local communities and environments as one of the primary resources for learning art, design and communication'.

We welcome submissions from individuals working within and beyond the academy, including artists, researchers, scholars, community organizers, professors, administrators and public policy advocates. We seek contributions representing a variety of creative contexts and geographical locations, and encourage diverse scholarly approaches, including vernacular research methods and arts-based research.

Submissions may focus on (but are not limited to) some of the following:

  • Real-world creative learning problems that position students to think through and act on the issue like experts
  • 'Situatedness' as a conceptual framework
  • Learning embedded within a particular social and physical environment (Lave and Wenger 1991)
  • ‘Learning in and with the world’ (Biesta 2018)
  • The roles of artists and artmaking, designers and designing
  • Engaging local community members as co-designers of, or mentors for, educational experiences
  • Working with/within economically vulnerable and historically impacted communities
  • Creative place-making or creative place-keeping
  • Issues of access, equity, sustainability or maintenance.
