Date: Wednesday June 12, 2013
Time: 17:30 – 19:00
Location: RHS East Space, London College of Fashion, 20 John Princes St, London

Building on the argument that art and design lecturers have particular sets of skills, knowledges and practices that make them excellent pedagogic researchers (Susan Orr, Pedagogic Research Hub lecture, April 2013) the LCF Pedagogic Research Hub is hosting a discussion of effective research methodologies for creative arts contexts. Panel speakers Nicholas Addison and Hilaire Graham (CLTAD) Katrine Hjelde (Chelsea) and chair Alison James (LCF) will share experiences of conducting research either from a disciplinary point of view (e.g. Fine Art and Architecture) or an educational theme (inclusivity, NSS, curriculum design, PPD etc); their contributions will be followed by an open discussion with the audience.

All are welcome to come along, listen and contribute. Please RSVP to Alison James.

Visitors that have a physical disability which may affect their mobility are asked to contact us in advance to discuss their access needs.

Fashion Colloquia Series and IFFTI are Calling for Ideas/Proposals Requiring International Cooperation

Dates: 11th and 12th September 2013
Location: London College of Fashion, 20 John Princes Street, London

The fashion colloquia series started as a series of four fashion-based events organized to coincide with the fashion weeks in London, Milan, Paris and New York. These have been well received and accordingly we are now organizing a second series commencing in Amsterdam (January 2014).
The International Foundation of Fashion Technology Institutes (IFFTI) is an international association of leading higher education institutes dedicated to promoting excellence in teaching and learning in fashion and fashion related programs.

We are calling for something different for this joint research-based event (something in addition to our traditional call for academic papers, presentations, performances etc). We want to support new international research projects in Fashion….

Who should attend?

Individuals with ideas/proposals
Individuals/representatives of institutions looking to become part of an international research project…

Our aim is to create a space to present your ideas and facilitate ‘match-making’ with interested individuals and institutions.
We anticipate this will lead to the beginning of some exciting international research projects that will contribute to the future development of fashion studies globally.

To assist you (and us) in organizing the event please submit your idea/proposal according to the criteria presented in the Project/ideas Proposal Form.

Closing date for submissions of ideas is 30th June 2013

To ensure the potential of these research projects we are also supporting an alternate forms of funding session. In this way, we will enable proposed ideas to proceed to become live active projects and produce results.

We are also introducing monitoring/updates of these successful research projects at future colloquia events. Thus, enabling sharing and learning from experience so that we this might encourage new opportunities for the future.

For all correspondence, including submissions of ideas/proposals, papers, presentations etc please email Ian King at: colloquia@fashion.arts.ac.uk

Professorial Platform Lecture: Professor Marina Wallace

Posted on May 22, 2013 by amackee

Professor Marina Wallace personally invites you to her Professorial Platform Lecture event, on Thursday 23 May at 18:30

Professor Wallace will be introduced by Professor Martin Kemp FBA, Emeritus Professor in the History of Art at Trinity College, Oxford University.

This lecture is mainly based on Professor Wallace’s research for Volume X of La Cultura Italiana published by UTET in 2010. The volume is in Italian and, by translating it, Professor Wallace can now share it with colleagues, students and friends. The relationship that each citizen has with his/her own country and culture is mediated by personal experiences matured during a lifetime. It is a delicate task to identify what motivates the consciousness of “insiders” of a culture whilst, at the same time, stimulating the interest of outsiders. To be able to observe the prodigious artistic production of one’s own country from the point of view of another culture and another genetic material offers fresh cues. Curiosity, prodded by geographical and physical distance, helps to identify in a schematic way those characteristics that define a country’s visual culture in a decisively distinctive way.
