Listen "Mark Ingham, Ph.D.: Critical and nomadic pedagogies"
Episode Synopsis
What might a rhizomatic, nomadic education look like?In this episode, I speak with Mark Ingham, Ph.D. Mark is an artist, scholar, and radical educator whose five-decade career bridges creative practice, critical theory, and experimental pedagogy. Trained at Chelsea School of Art and the Slade, he became known early for bold, site-responsive installations His art has been exhibited at the Whitechapel, Kettle’s Yard, Riverside Studios, and internationally. Alongside his studio practice, Mark has a long history of socially engaged work in schools, galleries, prisons, and community settings, grounding his teaching in real-world questions of culture, power, and place. He is now Reader in Critical and Nomadic Pedagogies at University of the Arts London, Co-Chair of the Professoriate, and founder of the Experimental Pedagogies Research Group, a vibrant network of 500+ educators rethinking creative learning. We discuss:🥥 Questioning why we follow the rules we’ve inherited, and refusing to keep doing things just because “that’s how it’s always been;"🥥 Stripping away labels and boundaries so we can re-wild ourselves and the world into something more alive;🥥 Moving through de-territorialization and re-territorialization: the old pattern loosens, things shift, and a new pattern takes shape.Check us out: www.coconut-thinking.comFind out more about Mark and his upcoming book: https://markingham.org/
