A Dog in the Playground was published in March 2016 and resulted from the first collaborative project between Freelands Foundation and UCL/Institute of Education (UCL/IOE). The publication includes contributions from artist students on the PGCE course who were training to be Art & Design secondary school teachers. It explores the notion of teaching as a socially engaged practice, investigating six possible approaches to working as an artist teacher in the classroom: artist; curator; collaborator; instructor; social activist; and facilitator, and includes essays by Henry Ward (Creative Director, Freelands Foundation) and Lesley Burgess (Head of the UCL/IOE PGCE course). Artists include Shazia Ahmed, Siobhan Auberge, Robert Bagley, Oz Bhatti, Alex Birrell, Janice Bonner, Frances Bowman, Edmond Brooks-Beckman, Becca Callaghan, Ella Davison & Kate Thackara, Louise Evans, Alice Gascoigne, Caroline Gray, John Green, Sophie Gudgion, Rupert Haines, Ella Kate Harrison, Jasmine Spires Harrold, Verity Hime, Fiona Johnston, Charlotte Kaye, Brogan Sigourney King, Robert Leech, Clare Munro, Damian O’Gorman, Liudmila Preyer, Lucy Read, Leigh Spary, Harriet Stripling, Zoe Thomas, Hollie Todd, Valentino Vannini & Samuel Turner, Olivia Watts, Harriet Windsor, Claudia Wiseman.
