Responses to education policy since 2010: An investigation of the adjustments and strategies of art and design practitioners

Visiting art and design departments in schools as a tutor on the PGCE Art and Design course at Goldsmiths, I have observed the changes in conditions for practitioners that can be related to education policy changes since 2010. I would like to address the issues faced and investigate responses made by practitioners in art and design. Through empirical research I intend to gather data on the adjustments made in department ethos, methods of resourcing through professional networks, and the individual and collaborative responses of practitioners. The intention of this research is to explore possibilities for building theoretical and practical support.
