This themed membership meeting will bring together CHEAD members to consider a range of themes associated with contested spaces, to hear from speakers in the field and to participate in exploratory workshops.
Members will hear from external policy facing colleagues around institutional responsibilities and for a perspective on the OfS position. There are changes coming to the NSS for 2023 and also to Freedom of Speech legislation which will impact on creative educator's responsibilities.
We will consider the challenges art and design HE institutions face in relation to:
» exhibiting contentious or potentially offensive works
» NSS Questions for 2023
» Freedom of speech
» Cancel culture
» Accommodating and managing student protests
» Institutional compliance and disruption
» Collaborating with students
The event includes a presentation of the video work IMPOSTER/HECKLER by Dr Gemma Marmalade, which will explore the expectations of conference conventions, the shutting down of institutional challenge and debate, the imposter sensibilities of academics, and the inversion of authoritative roles.
