Joining Journal of Arts and Communities

I am delighted to share that I have joined the Editorial Board of Intellect’s Journal of Arts and Communities. Its a publication that has proved such a useful resource for me in the past, I am honoured to be now part of its future.

I am in esteemed company too. The Journal Editors are Emma Shercliff, Arts University Bournemouth, UK, Elaine Speight, University of Central Lancashire, UK, and Taiwo Afolabi, University of Regina, Canada.

Alongside me on the Board are: Michael Balfour, University of New South Wales, Australia; Rea Dennis, Deakin University, Australia; Roz Stewart-Hall, Research and evaluation consultant, UK; Stephanie Knight, Independent artist/researcher/writer, Scotland; Petra Kuppers, University of Michigan, USA; Tomaž Krpič, Ljubljana University, Slovenia; Ali Maclaurin, Freelance theatre designer and lecturer, UK; Hinda Mandell, Rochester Institute of Technology, USA; Nela Milic, University of the Arts, London; Paul Newland, University of Worcester, UK; Monica Prendergast, University of Victoria, Canada; and Peter Wright, Murdoch University, Australia.

The Journal of Arts & Communities is a double-blind peer-reviewed journal that seeks to provide a critical examination of the practices known as community or participatory arts, encompassing a field of work defined for this purpose as incorporating active, creative collaboration between artists and people in a range of communities.The journal takes a cross-artform and interdisciplinary approach, including work happening in performance, visual arts and media, writing, multimedia and collaboration involving digital technology and associated forms. In part this will create an archive that will document work which can otherwise be ephemeral.
