CASE STUDIES

A recent research project for Carnegie Research, Jo and colleague Jayne Lloyd studied the impact of social restrictions on inclusive arts practice, learning, teaching and research (as a result of Covid 19 pandemic restrictions).

As collaborator on the Routledge published book Inclusive Arts Practice and Research Jo designed the layout and collaborated on illustrations with learning disabled Rocket Artist Kelvin Burke. This publication is used as a key text in many educational and cultural organisations around the world seeking an accessible, practical and rigorous guide on inclusion, art and learning disability. www.routledge.com/A-Critical-Manifesto.
