Abstract
Beginning with the idea that decolonising the curriculum is about more than just wider participation and inclusion, we will address how, through a more experiential and heuristic approach to learning, students can develop the confidence to deal with complex and sensitive real-world issues. Central to this is a consideration of authorship, which is the privilege and responsibility for authoring images and stories in illustration practice. This means questioning what it means to place the student’s own experience at the forefront of their research, as well as how the budding illustrator-researcher may begin to acknowledge and utilise their own privilege (or lack of), subjectivity, and socio-cultural biases within the production of work. Through discussion of assignments set across first and second-year undergraduate study, we will address how these self-reflective, action-based activities can be used to deconstruct, and subvert traditional top-down pedagogic hierarchies, and evolve into meaningful and rigorous outward-facing academic research and illustrative practice.
