Dr Janet Emmanuel
Research and professional activities are located on the borders of Art, Technology and Science. As a practitioner and educationalist l am interested in the negotiation of multi and trans-disciplinary landscapes within art, design and education. Where understanding working methods, pedagogy and thinking at a fundamental level become catalysts for innovation and the building blocks for debate and co-production.
