The opportunity
This is an exciting opportunity to lead in the research and development of a new MA Art and Social Justice course at Chelsea College of Arts. This course aims to have a decolonised curriculum focused on subject theory and non-material interdisciplinary practices (such as, but not limited to, publishing, digital media, socially engaged practices), and employ UAL Libraries and Research networks as key resources.
Working with UAL Libraries and Research networks, the Art Programme Director, Dean of Art, Quality Offices, and other UAL Offices as appropriate, the post-holder will deploy specialist subject area and HEI Quality expertise to develop an internationally ambitious course that is innovative, and critically and societally relevant.
The successful candidate will be responsible to the Programme Director in undertaking the research and writing of the MA Art and Social Justice VSC and related documents. They will participate fully in the Validation process, and have opportunity to implement their own vision within UAL’s academic standards of excellence. The post-holder will also be responsible for aspects of the student recruitment process and teaching within the Fine Art Programme at Chelsea.
The planned MA Art and Social Justice is a key development in the expansion of the Art Programme, to alongside the established MA Fine Art and MA Curating and Collections in Chelsea’s postgraduate offer. The role offers a unique opportunity for a candidate who is committed to developing an innovative creative curriculum in this new area of the Art Programme’s portfolio, and who is keen to promote inclusion and cultural diversity for graduates looking to develop a deep understanding of Art and Social Justice practices.
