The peer-reviewed international journal Art, Design & Communication in Higher Education seeks submissions for a Special Issue on place-based learning entitled ‘Exploring Situatedness’. This call is a partnership with the European Institute of Arts (ELIA) in alignment with the theme for the ELIA Academy in Portugal in May 2023 (https://elia-artschools.org/page/ELIAAcademy2023). For the purposes of this call, place-based learning is defined as higher education educational experiences that intentionally integrate local communities and environments as one of the primary resources for learning art, design and communication.
We welcome submissions from individuals working within and beyond the academy, including artists, researchers, scholars, community organizers, professors, administrators and public policy advocates. We seek contributions representing a variety of creative contexts and geographical locations, and encourage diverse scholarly approaches, including vernacular research methods and arts-based research.
Submissions may focus on (but are not limited to) some of the following:
Real-world creative learning problems that position students to think through and act on the issue like experts
'Situatedness' as a conceptual framework
Learning embedded within a particular social and physical environment (Lave and Wenger 1991)
‘Learning in and with the world’ (Biesta 2018)
The roles of artists and artmaking, designers and designing
Engaging local community members as co-designers of, or mentors for, educational experiences
Working with/within economically vulnerable and historically impacted communities
Creative place-making or creative place-keeping
Issues of access, equity, sustainability or maintenance.
