The Journal of Cultural Research in Art Education has published three issues as a part of a collection on critical whiteness studies in visual art education. I am pleased to have an article included in this collection, titled “White Warnings.” In this article, I query the double bind in which white scholars reinvest in whiteness through critical reflexivity of whiteness itself. In the paper, I begin to theorise the need for white people to welcome embodied signals, or white warnings, that signal threat to one’s social and institutional standing and therefore point to the possibility of white divestment. The article is free to read on the Journal of Cultural Research in Art Education website.

Tier Two Worker Remote Office
On March 15th and 16th, 2018, I staged a performance art piece titled Tier Two Worker Remote Office (#T2WRemoteOffice.) Through this performance, I addressed the precarious position of Tier 2 workers who risked deportation by participating in the largest industrial action in the history of the higher education sector. I wrote an article on the performance, which was published in the Journal of Curriculum and Pedagogy. The accepted pre-published version can be read for free in the Cambridge repository here. I live tweeted the performance at #T2WRemoteOffice.

My latest article in Studies in Art Education is a conceptual analysis of youth in visual art education. This paper will be particularly useful for scholars who are doing research with youth. I show how youth can be deployed discursively to frame, produce, and buttress arguments about the role of art education in society and the need for particular approaches to curriculum and instruction. My literature review is organized around four themes: Youth as (1) transition, (2) culture, (3) difference, and (4) image. In presenting these four themes, my aim is to support art education researchers as they extend, refine, clarify, and deepen their analysis in ways that have positive concrete effects on young people through art education. The article can be read here. The accepted pre-publication version can be read for free on the Cambridge repository.
