After a competitive internal process in Nov/December I can now excitedly confirm I have been appointed as the new Head of the Department for Art & Media Technology at Winchester School of Art for an initial term of 3 years from Jan. This means I will be looking after staff and students across Fine Art, Games Design, Game Art, Creative Computing, Creative Technologies, Digital Media, Contemporary Curating and Arts and Cultural Leadership. I can’t wait to drive forward all the excellent research, education and civic engagement we have been undertaking already.
It will mean a very busy semester 2 for me as my games work with year 3 and our 10 year alumni show “Changing the Game” will still continue as we make more adjustments in the summer to support my new leadership role.
However even after that my main education practice will still be in games and digital practices and so I look forward to being based in our new Capital House campus in Winchester on the games studio floor working with the games students each week.
