Intellect is pleased to announce that Journal of Applied Arts & Health 14.3 is out now!

Special Issue: ‘Celebrating Shaun McNiff’

This Special Issue of JAAH focuses solely on the life contribution of University Professor Emeritus Shaun McNiff. Spanning the 1970s to now, his contribution to the understanding of art-based research is outlined as prolific and instrumental in the development of the field. The editorial team acknowledges that the philosophical foundation of JAAH stems directly from McNiff’s premise that art is the evidence and communicates in a way that is unique, distinctive and primary.
