Special Issue of Art, Design and Communication in Higher Education Journal

Special issue: The role of risk taking in creative pedagogies

In Art and Design education we encourage our students to take risks. The idea of risk-taking is highly valued in art and design education and yet there have not been many articles in the journal Art, Design & Communication in Higher Education that explore scholarship and practice in relation to this key concept.

The editor is keen to explore this theme in future editions of the journal and would like to actively encourage prospective authors to respond to this invitation.

Have you carried out research that explores pedagogies that support risk taking?  Have you interviewed students about their understandings of risk taking and how it supports their creative development?  Are you keen to critique the concept of risk taking and challenge its hegemonic position in the art school?
