Although reflexive and ethnographic research are the foundation of my research, I will also use visual research as a method of investigating my question. I intend to do this in the form of a small quiz, which is intended to be a game that enables me to introduce the subject of citation to the students …

SIP – What did you seeee, what did you hear?
When we met today we were asked to consider semiotics, and how we might find an image to sum up our ideas about research. I rarely think about the connection of images to words/thoughts/ideas, but the discussion around semiotics allowed me to think about how I relate to words/thoughts/ideas as an artist, as an individual …

SIP – My Pretend Interview Experience
I love watching interviews with musicians online, and one of my all time favourite interviewers is a guy called Nardwuar, who has a notoriously unique way of interviewing his guests. In the most impressive and mind boggling way, he does in-depth research on his interviewees, gathering information which he then reveals in the interview through …
SIP – Looking In & Looking Out
Methods of research. This was the topic for discussion today, and it’s one that I initially found intimidating. When the word research is used, I often think about someone with expert investigative skills and knowledge delving into books and journals to unearth untold gems of information. I also think of someone who like Sponge Bob, …
SIP – Thoughts & Feelings
The end is nigh! And to celebrate, above is a picture of Toni Morrison looking like she’s living her best life. Her inclusion in this thoughts and feelings reflection isn’t entirely random though. I’ve been thinking about citation a lot, and the role it plays in a student’s life whilst studying. I began to get …
Look n’ Learn
We all have different ways of processing the world around us, and for some (especially creative thinkers and practitioners), looking is a mode of learning and communicating. In the classroom this activity can be manifested through OBL (Object Based Learning), and this was something we had to engage with in our 20 minute micro teaching …
Tell me what you think
Asking for, or giving someone feedback can be difficult. It requires an openness, humility and vulnerability that even on a good day most of us would struggle to fully embody. Whether you’re the person receiving feedback, or giving it, there is a need to understand how best to communicate to another person in a way …
Love, Love, Love
Who runs our institution, and what are their principles? In some respects this question could be answered with a simple fact check exercise. A quick search on google will reveal who the president of UAL is, and potentially the names of course leaders, visiting lecturers, technicians, librarians etc. But providing information about the principles and …
Playtime
The idea that we can always be, and indeed are, engaged with the activity of play is great news for those of us who secretly felt like we never grew up. I found it particularly interesting, because it positioned the necessity of play in looking at and understanding art. Or as Gadamer calls it…… ****!!! …
Who Am I
In today’s class we each had an oppurtunity to speak about the principles and values that underpin our teaching practice. In light of this I put together a collection of slides that demonstrated how social justice is the foundation for my teaching pedagogy. I’m interested in working with students to develop and deepen their understanding …
Day 1
So I went to my first lecture today, and one of the things that immediately became a topic of conversation was how we could all adjust to navigating learning on online spaces, which is now the new norm. Touching and being physically close to one another now is an adage to a time that feels …
Greetings!
My name is Rachel Jones and I’m an associate lecturer on Fine Art Photography at Camberwell College of Arts. I’m looking forward to working with students on my course and developing a teaching practice that is influenced by social justice pedagogies.
