IMPACT CASE STUDIES A. Creative Mapping

This ongoing collaboration between myself, the Institute for International Visual Arts the Royal Geographical Society and Tate Britain explores creative mappings. To date it has resulted in two exhibitions; a catalogue; an interdisciplinary symposium ‘Crossing Boundaries’ bringing together geographers with visual artists, performance practitioners and people from the GIS Industry; a series of public workshops held at Iniva; and a public lecture I was invited to give at Iniva. There is also a planned book that I have been invited to edit alongside Professor David Pinder (QMUL).

Exhibitions: Creative Compass (RGS, Summer 2010) Whose map is it anyway? (Institute for International Visual Arts (Iniva) London. Summer 2010). Catalogue essay: Placing Art at the RGS Symposium: Crossing Boundaries, June 2010, RGS-IBG, Iniva, Tate Britain.

Invited public lectures: Creative Mapping; Heath Bunting, artist meets critique (Iniva June 2010).

4 B. Art-Science collaborations Resulting from both connections made during research into the Creative Industries in South West Britain and my current research into Art Science collaborations I have a growing area of ‘impact’ activity around art-science collaborations, including work with C3W, the climate change consortium in Wales.

Academic advisor: Jurassic Coast Arts team Public Lectures: Earthscapes:Geology+Geography (Sherborne House Arts, 03/10; Thelma Hulbert Gallery, 06/10). Public events: Science Café, Aberystwyth University.

C. Insites: an artists book

Insites: An artists’ book was developed with artist Annie Lovejoy through engagement with a small Cornish community and their attitudes to landscape and environment. The book, aimed at prompting reflection on community and engendering environmental values, was distributed throughout the local community and in a series of artists’ networks. It was discussed with representatives and lecturers on Geography PGCE courses at Newcastle and Northumbria Universities and copies of the book were disseminated for use in teaching.

D. Creative Industries

AHRC funded research into the Creative Industries, conducted alongside Drs Harvey and Thomas developed a series of different outputs. Including: Creative Critical Connections: This stakeholder workshop event brought together 60 representatives from across the creative community including members of the RDA, The Arts Council, arts administrators and practitioners.

Board of Directors of PVA Media: I sit on the board of PVA Media helping the group write its strategy, Arts Council business plan and funding applications.

Policy Board: Funded by money from the University of Exeter Link Fund I sit on ‘The Big Picture’, the policy and strategic planning board for visual arts in the South West. Other members of the group include representatives from local councils, the RDA, Arts Council, local businesses, local art institutions and artists/designer makers.

Education work: GA conference and a paper in Geography, a magazine aimed at 16 – 18 year old audiences and at a workshop for secondary school level audience at the RGS-IBG (2009-2010).

COURSES TAUGHT My teaching philosophy is to engage and enthuse students in geographical study. I aim to facilitate learning and encourage critical thinking alongside other life long learning skills. I believe in delivering modules that engage empirical work with theoretical perspectives, and deploy innovative methodologies to explore substantive concerns. My teaching practice promotes a student-centred learning experience through blending lectures and small group work in workshops, seminars and in the field in order to foster an active and responsive learning environment (* indicates module convenor).
