Bonnie's text can be accessed here. VP MESSAGE Message from Dr. Robert Luke, VPRI: Celebrating Research at OCADU We are well into the new year and the new academic term and I hope you are reading this having enjoyed a restful break and productive start to the year. A highlight in this issue of Pulse is the text from Professor Emeritus Bonnie Devine’s keynote talk from our Celebration of Research, held on 4 December 2019. Professor Devine was the winner of the 2018 OCAD University Award for Distinguished Research, Scholarship & Creative Activity, and this keynote was an inspiring discussion about Bonnie’s research and creative practice. I was moved by Bonnie’s meditation on the role of research and inquiry, in particular our collective ability—and need—to disrupt and interrogate fact, knowledge and discovery. Professor Devine’s “research methodology of disobedience” is instructive to us all as we meet the challenges put forth in our Academic Plan to “… seek and respond to the questions of our time, and in doing so, enrich our disciplines and act as transformative social, economic, environmental and cultural agents.” Research at OCAD University provides the world with necessary enrichment, broadening the horizons of how we as a society conceive of knowledge and indeed the role of research in the University. This is very important at a time when government Strategic Mandate Agreements and even the granting councils have too-narrow definitions of what constitutes research. This is evident not just in what disciplines are funded, but also in what research metrics are counted. Our This Is Research campaign is illustrative of the rich variety of research and research-creation undertaken at OCADU and the contributions these make to our communities. Professor Devine’s entreaty to “look instead for knowledge…in the text of the land” reminds us to continue to amplify the uniqueness of our collective contributions to research, and to celebrate the uniqueness of research in art, design and media. Update on Research Space We are very pleased to report that, since the University has begun using this new model of research space sharing, we have been able to accommodate 100% more faculty who are conducting research. This is a huge success and a testament to the growth of research at OCADU. Our thanks to the Research Committee, in particular professors Kate Hartman and Kate Sellen, who were instrumental in leading the discussion in the community as we developed the model and criteria for research space allocation. As we have reported here last year, the research space allocation model takes into account the different types of research our community conducts. It also supports directly those faculty who have successfully received research funding. RESEARCH NEWS THIS IS RESEARCH V4 The Office of Research & Innovation is excited to launch the fourth iteration of the "This is Research" campaign to raise awareness about research at OCAD University. This volume features work by Julius Manapul, Veronika Szudlarek, Sarah Tranum, Pam Patterson, Cindy Poremba, and Nithikul Nimkulrat. OCAD University faculty are engaged in inclusive, interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research that audaciously and responsibly pursues the questions of our time. THIS IS RESEARCH features posters and media showcasing the many forms of research at the University. You can see the first set of these on the many screens across campus and our website. In concert with provincial efforts being coordinated through the Council of Ontario Universities, “THIS IS RESEARCH” will help to raise the profile of research performed across faculties by the creative professionals, scholars, and strategic thinkers that make up our research community. Please join us in celebrating research at OCADU! If you would like your research to be profiled through “THIS IS RESEARCH” please contact our office at [email protected]. ANNOUNCING THE 2019/2020 AWARDS FOR DISTINGUISHED AND EARLY STAGE RESEARCH Congratulations to Dr. Martha Ladly, for receiving the 2019/2020 Award for Distinguished Research, Scholarship & Creative Activity. Dr. Martha Ladly is an interdisciplinary artist and designer. Her practice-based research takes a feminist approach, employing new technologies with a critical view towards their impacts on human bodies, cultures, and societies. She employs creative practices, narrative methodologies, and sensitive user design principles to approach diverse subject matters. Martha has co-designed mobile applications to investigate community histories (Park Walk); tablet applications to support elders with memory loss (Postcard Memories); and created gesture-based installations to enable video search and display of an historic CBC News corpus (The CBC Newsworld Holodeck). ​ Her current SSHRC funded project, Decoding Origins, has been co-developed with co-Principal Investigator Dr. Katrina Keefer and researcher Kartikay Chadha with an international, multicultural team of researchers. Their work employs art, design, archival research and collection, digitization and data visualization, to uncover and restore African identities and life stories which the slave trade sought to erase. A cautious hope is that the research may soon assist ancestors of enslaved individuals in tracing their origins back to African homelands. Congratualtions to Dr. Alia Weston for receiving the 2019/2020 Award for Excellence in Early Research. Dr. Alia Weston is an Associate Professor of Creative and Business Enterprise. Through her research and practice Alia explores the intersection of business, creativity and social change. She takes a critical theory perspective to question dominant research paradigms and redefine how we understand knowledge; exploring themes such as critical business practice, creative work practices in resource constraints, social innovation in education, and experiential food methodology. Some examples of Alia’s research include the Impact Collective social innovation project (co-directed with Zev Farber, CEAD), Good w/ Food research project (with Zev Farber and Alexandra Hong, CEAD), and Culture Creates Bonds (with Sara Diamond, Marcus Gordon, Rachna Kumar and Zoe Dion- Van Royen). Alia’s work as an educator and researcher is supported by her practice as a designer- entrepreneur. She uses her design practice, the Alia Weston jewelry brand, as a living research project and utilizes insights to teach OCAD U students about the how-to aspects of running a creative business. ​ OCAD U Participates in eCampusOntario Micro- Certification Pilot Project The Office of Research and Innovation, with support from the Centre for Emerging Artist + Designer, and in partnership with the Faculty of Curriculum Development Centre and Office of Continuing Studies have been awarded $25,000 to participate in eCampusOntario’s Micro-Certification Pilot Project. OCAD U is one of 14 institutions* out 34 applicants to be selected to participate in this pilot project. Working together with our industry partner, Myant Inc., the team is developing a micro-certification course in user-centred product design that will be included in Continuing Studies’ non-degree credit, certificate courses, this spring. This micro-certification course will provide OCAD U alumni and other emerging design professionals, a unique way to certify achievement of a specific set of skills that are in demand in the labour market. The project team will be presenting their work on this pilot at the eCampusOntario Micro-certification Forum 2020 on February 21, at the Toronto Reference Library. *Participating Universities and Colleges: OCAD U, Waterloo, York, Queens, Western, Wilfrid Laurier, Western, Windsor + Ontario Tech, George Brown, Humber, Conestoga, Lambton, Sault, St. Lawrence.

  • OCAD University At-Large Faculty Senator Elections 2016 List of Candidates
    OCAD University At-Large Faculty Senator Elections 2016 List of Candidates: Michelle Astrug (Faculty of Design) Michelle Astrug is a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Design, teaching in Graphic Design. She is applying for senate because she is interested in actively participating in University governance. Claire Brunet (Faculty of Art) Claire Brunet is a sculptor and Associate Professor in Media and installation art; Sculpture/Installation program and Fabrication Studio Bronze Casting and Digital Processes at OCAD University in Toronto. In June 2014 Brunet completed a PhD degree in Fine Arts, in the Interdisciplinary Program (INDI) at Concordia University in Montreal. Her research work explores expanded spatial boundaries and the influence of a 3D digital and technological context on the artist’s creative process in sculpture practice. Brunet’s sculpture project proposes opposing temporal forces—a 3D digital and technological spatial approach as a mode of production, in opposition to a critical discourse in regard to living species and their relation to their natural environment—which stresses the opposing values of an hypermodern society (Lipovetsky 2005). Brunet has presented projects and papers at conferences in New Zealand, Australia, Belgium, Germany, Greece and Canada. Her publications include: Exploring Data Space, in The Faculty of Art Newsletter (OCAD U, Toronto, 2012); “Extending Spatial Boundaries Through Sculpture Practices: Exploring Natural and 3D Technological Environments” in The International Journal of the Arts in Society (Illinois: CG Publishing, 2012); McLuhan and Extended Environment: Affect and Effect of a 3D Digital Medium on Sculpture Practice, in Y.

  • Does Accreditation Matter for Art & Design Schools in Canada?
    College Quarterly Winter 2013 - Volume 16 Number 1 (../index.html) Does Accreditation Matter for Art & Design Schools in Canada? Home By Reiko (Leiko) Shimizu (../index.html) Studio-based degrees in fine arts and design are not often written Contents about in higher education literature. Perhaps it is because art and design (index.html) education is misunderstood – students are viewed as “finding themselves” or have unrealistic dreams of becoming the next big artist. Perhaps the studio-based nature of the curriculum does not intrigue researchers to write about issues that concern it, or perhaps it is because anyone can call themself an artist without having an academic credential. Ten years ago, urban theorist Richard Florida coined the term the “creative class” as individuals who “do a wide variety of work in a wide variety of industries – from technology to entertainment, journalism to finance, high- end manufacturing to the arts….they share a common ethos that values creativity, individuality, difference, and merit” (Florida, 2002, para. 8). According to Florida the creative class helps build economic development; therefore, our cities should be nurtured to be more inviting to these types of individuals. This emphasis on culture and creativity is at the foundation of art and design education. Groys (2009) argues that art education is complicated and subjective; it ultimately has no rules and that “teaching art means teaching life” (as cited in Madoff, 2009, p. 27). If that is the case, how does one measure quality in a field that is viewed as so subjective? How does one define and value art and design education? One’s notion of good art and design can be vastly different from another’s, and both views may come from experts in the field.

  • (Re)Mapping, Grounding, Remembering: a Curatorial Study of Way-Finding and Relationships to Place in Contemporary Indigenous Art Practice
    (re)mapping, grounding, remembering: A Curatorial Study of Way-finding and Relationships to Place in Contemporary Indigenous Art Practice by Courtney Miller A thesis exhibition presented to OCAD University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Fine Arts in Criticism and Curatorial Practice Graduate Gallery, OCAD University, March 7-14, 2020 Toronto, Ontario, Canada, March 2020 © Courtney Miller, 2020 ii (re)mapping, grounding, remembering A thesis exhibition by Courtney Miller Master of Fine Arts Criticism and Curatorial Practice 2020 OCAD University Abstract (re)mapping, grounding, remembering explores how the concept of (re)mapping is communicated in Indigenous contemporary artwork to demonstrate place-making methods and maintain Indigenous presence on land/landscape. (Re)mapping indicates Indigenous perceptions of and connections to ancestral land/landscape through themes of responsibility, reciprocity, place-based language, and intergenerational knowledges. This thesis project involves an exhibition featuring the artworks of Anishinaabe artist Bonnie Devine, Blackfoot/Cree artist Richelle Bear Hat, and Métis artist Katherine Boyer. Through literal, symbolic, and discursive gestures of mapping, the artists contribute to a conversation of re-writing histories, shared memories, complex and enduring relationships pertaining to homeland. iii Acknowledgements I would like to thank my thesis advisor Gerald McMaster and my secondary advisor Selmin Kara for their guidance, my readers Anna Hudson and Johanna Householder, and my previous advisor Suzanne Morrissette. I also would like to thank my husband Zak, my friends, and family for their continuous support. I express my continual appreciation to the artists in my thesis exhibition: Bonnie Devine, Richelle Bear Hat, and Katherine Boyer.

  • Pathways and Barriers to Art and Design Undergraduate Education for Students with Previous College and University Experience
    PATHWAYS AND BARRIERS TO ART AND DESIGN UNDERGRADUATE EDUCATION FOR STUDENTS WITH PREVIOUS COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY EXPERIENCE Prepared for: Ontario Council on Articulation and Transfer by: Deanne Fisher Eric Nay Mary Wilson Laura Wood OCAD University November 2012 ABSTRACT OCAD University undertook an investigation of the transition needs and experiences of current OCAD U students from two distinct types of educational backgrounds: those with previous undergraduate coursework and those with prior college experience. The study used a mixed method approach, both qualitative (analysis of semi-structured interviews with students from both cohorts) and quantitative (analysis of National Survey of Student Engagement data comparing college transfer students, university transfer students and students who came directly from high school). The study pointed to some significant differences in the expectations, experiences and needs of students from different educational backgrounds leading to a series of recommendations to better facilitate student mobility and enhance the quality of experience. While focused in one institutional environment, many of the findings can be generalized to fine and applied art and student mobility within studio-based programs.
