Action Research Groups

Back

Action Research Groups or Special interest Groups (SIGs) as they were formally known, are formed by NSEAD members to address a time-specific issue faced by our subject and/or our community of art educators. Each Research Group, led by a chair, comes together for a set period of time with a specific action plan and focussed remit.

We currently have Action Research Groups for Advancing AntiAbleist Art Pedagogies, and The Big Picture - Better Practice in Art and Design. Members of Council are helping NSEAD to build new and emerging SIGs – for example Gender Transformative Art Education (GATE) – each will address one pressing issue in art, craft and design education.

Previous Research Groups are listed below. their work is published throughout our website. If you are a member and would like to start up an Action Research Group please get in touch.

If you are an NSEAD member and have expertise that you would like to share, and would be interested in getting involved in our work, please contact sophieleach@nsead.org
