What’s new . . .

This special edition post-conference publication is a collection of practitioner led studies from the 2021 virtual conference ‘Responding, Reframing, Re-thinking: A new era in creative education for our sector’. Organised in partnership with the host institution Nottingham Trent University, this conference brought together the art and design sector to both acknowledge and evaluate the work of staff and students during the 2020-2021 COVID Lockdown.

Further acknowledgement of the changed landscape of higher education brought about by the pandemic came in the form of the conference itself, which was conducted entirely online, and made use of innovative SpatialChat software, which allowed delegated to mix informally outside of the organised sessions. The conference attracted over 100 delegates from regional, national and international locations. It provided a much needed pause after a sustained period of intensity, uncertainty and change.
