Wyman Lecture and Killam Conversation 2013: Rethinking Relationships Between Teaching, Learning and Art

Dr. Rita L. Irwin, Professor of Art Education and Dr. Donal O’Donoghue, Associate Professor of Art Education focus on an artist residency at UBC that brought together artists, pedagogues and researchers to explore and invent relations between art, learning and teaching, and consider the learning encounters made possible in and through the processes and products of this event.
