Department of Curriculum and Pedagogy (EDCP)
His research is located in the fields of contemporary art and curatorial practice; aesthetics; education; and gender studies. In education, Dr. O’Donoghue conducts art-led research that investigates and documents students’ experiences of learning to live in school environments. This research contributes new insights into the pedagogical potentialities of space and place and the production of subjectivities in school, while enhancing and diversifying theoretical and practical applications of artistic research.
