Person

Daniel Gregson, Dr

Lecturer at University of Sunderland

I am a recent graduate of the University’s PhD “Class of 2024” , and a member of the University’s lecturing staff. The title of my thesis is, "What Can Education Learn from the Arts?: an exploration of the role of aesthetic experience in education".
The focus of my research is upon my experiences of teaching, supporting and supervising practitioner-research as part of the national Practitioner Research Programme (PRP). The PRP, funded by the Educational and Training Foundation (ETF), supports teachers of vocational education across England in improving their educational practice. My research highlights the power and the potential of the pedagogic use of aesthetic experience, the arts, and multimedia, including film, music, ICT, and popular culture in strengthening conceptual development and the improvement of academic writing, scholarship, and research. In exploring how educational practice could be improved through arts-based educational research (ABER) my work is currently informing the further development of practitioner-research across England and overseas.
