Academic History Ph.D. in Curriculum Studies and Art Education, Department of Curriculum Studies, University of British Columbia, 2004 M.A. in Curriculum Studies and Art Education, Department of Curriculum Studies, University of British Columbia, 2001 B.Ed. in elementary education with a specialization in the arts, Queen’s University, 2000 BFA Studio, Queen’s University, 1992 Research Overview Dr. Springgay’s research focuses on contemporary art and pedagogy. Currently she is working on two interrelated Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada grants. “The Institute of Walking” is a research-creation study that examines walking as an aesthetic practice, as a form of corporeal pedagogy, and a bodily way of knowing and being with others. In the project, a series of new relational and interventionist art works will be created by Diane Borsato, and several other Canadian and International artists. The new public works will propose alternatives to the limiting conceptions of walking as slow or antiquated, or walking as fitness. The project will excavate and generate another discourse around the subversive, epistemological, pedagogic, and aesthetic implications of walking. “The Pedagogical Impulse” is a platform for research-creation concerned with contemporary art’s paradigmatic re-orientation towards the educational. The project will orient itself around a series of artist residencies that will take place across a number of educational sites (K-12 classrooms, teacher education programs, graduate programs, and community spaces) in order to examine how artists are engaging with educational concepts as spaces for the development of new critical practices, and the potential transformative engagements that occur when such art practices are located in collaboration with schools. www.thepedagogicalimpulse.com She is a member of and research consultant for “The Torontonians”, an art collective based in Parkdale, Toronto. They are a division of the research-art atelier Mammalian Diving Reflex, which is lead by artistic director Darren O’Donnell. Their current project "Producers of Parkdale"is a year-long mentorship residency at the Gladstone Hotel, where they will be learning the ropes of event production: curating, budgeting, marketing, production management and hospitality. www.mammalian.ca Teaching Overview Stephanie Springgay teaches courses in curriculum theory/studies and critical approaches to arts-based research in the graduate program.
