Personal profile
Biography
Geraldine is an artist, researcher, teacher-educator lecturing into visual, studio and creative arts education at Monash University (Melbourne and Singapore).
She is passionate about arts-based educational research and how it can be explored through creative pedagogies. Her research engages with artistic practice, pedagogy and community projects. She has an enduring interest in how local knowledge, place and immersive a/r/t (art, research, and teaching) develop across schools and community groups. Her Masters in Art and Design was by exhibition and exegesis and her Ph.D. (by photo-book and exegesis) explored immersive art pedagogy.
Community service
Arts Reach
Geraldine is a keen advocate of Art/s Reach which is an activity that has arisen from her research activities. Art/s Reach forms creative connections between Monash Faculty of Education and the community. Through Art/s Reach Monash University's pre-service teachers in Primary and Early Childhood work with children from local Schools and Early Learning Centres to provide innovative art/s experiences. This activity has been running for over ten years.
Community service through arts based projects
Following initial involvement in 2014, Geraldine ran whole-school Art and Sustainability sessions with Trentham and Tylden Primary schools for Spudfest, 2015. This saw the school children take an immersive and community based approach to the agri/cultural heritage of their town - where they explored the importance of the potato to the towns' history and ongoing living agri/culture.
Intergenerational arts reach
Geraldine is currently involving University of the third age participants in some of her teaching units. These Arts Reach CAFE experiences are currently being researched with Dr Clare Hall, as a means to explore the merits of intergenerational arts pedagogy.
