PRACTITIONER RESEARCH IN THE ART MUSEUM

My research during the 2000s centred on the arts and creative learning, artistic pedagogy and gallery education... In 2010 I was appointed the Head of Learning Practice and Research at Tate in London. My role involves supporting the strategic development of research-led practice and initiating and managing research and evaluation programmes within the Learning department across Tate Britain and Tate Modern. Since 2011 I have been working alongside colleagues to implement a values-led research based approach to programming... I am a researcher and educator in the visual arts. I trained in fine art (my practice was predominantly drawing) and worked as an artist, a freelance researcher and artist educator in galleries during the 1990s. During that time I also worked as the Education Co-ordinator at the Chisenhale Gallery in London.
