Art and Design
Overview
Research Contact: Professor Jake Kaner
Our researchers include practitioners and theorists. Relationships that exist between their approaches mean we can develop future-orientated work that addresses the challenges that face culture and society, particularly in relation to consumption and sustainability, well-being and regional heritage. This builds on strong regional, national and international links that have resulted in collaborations with the V&A, Nottingham Contemporary and the World Event Young Artists 2012.
The work of the subject area includes:
- developmental research work in technical textiles
- design for medical applications
- research in sustainable design and material culture that applies social science methods, history of design, and research embedded in critically engaged art and craft practice.
