Claire Penketh - Bio
Professor Claire Penketh has an international reputation for interdisciplinary research and practice bringing disability studies to questions regarding value and equity in art education.
Her research can be defined in two strands: the first of these examines the historical relationship between art education and disability, offering a long view of educational, philosophical and social trends in art education and disability; the second advocates for anti-ableist art education, putting insights from critical disability studies to work in contemporary educational settings. Claire is now a Consultant Scholar and Principal Editor of the International Journal of Art and Design Education (IJADE). She is member of the International Society of Education Through Art (InSEA), the Disability Studies, Arts & Education Conference Executive Board and the National Society for Education in Art and Design (NSEAD).
