Socially Just Feedback Methods
This research seeks to explore ‘socially just’ feedback methods within higher education for creative practice, including design and visual arts as well as performative/embodied practices and cultural production.
In many programmes today, the importance of giving agency to the students, creating a culture of peer learning, transparency and structure is acknowledged. This project is interested in developing and centering ‘social justice’ within practices of evaluation.
Departing from the ‘5 pillars’ framework rooted in decoloniality and indigenous knowledge as developed during the SJDA lectorate (2022-2024) (https://www.ahk.nl/en/sjda/method/), the question at the heart of this research is how to move away from an appreciation and encouragement of individual competitiveness, innovation, the white/dominant gaze, ‘cutting edge’ aesthetics, and move towards a culture of celebrating and appreciating reciprocity, historical grounding, positionality, community?
