GLAD is stepping out and stepping up from the contexts and constraints of recent pandemic times to develop fresh and new activities to support and advance learning and teaching in our great sector. GLAD invites applications for up to four new committee members to join the GLAD committee from September 2022. We are looking for new members that are enthusiastic, experienced and committed to working with others. We are looking for new blood that can help invigorate, broaden and enhance GLAD’s activities. We are delighted to welcome new colleagues to be part of the vibrant GLAD network of professionals that are dedicated to the advancement of learning and teaching in art, design and media.
GLAD committee membership is a voluntary role and members receive no payment for their work.

GLAD are keen that committee members evidence experience of, and commitment to, pedagogic research and scholarship and are keen to support such across our sector.
