SHIFT: Terri Newman

Terri Newman describes collaborative pedagogies as a means of building knowledge through collective practice.

Drawing on the work of Paolo Freire and other theorists, Newman explores the kinds of learning that happens through collaborations within the art classroom – when experience is prioritised over outcome, and space is held between knowing and not knowing.

Ultimately, Newman proposes collaborative pedagogies as a reflective practice, where students are able to realise their own agency within systems of control and dominance.
