James Oliver is a transdisciplinary academic with over 20 years of research and teaching experience. The foundations of his research and training are in the social sciences, while his expertise in creative practice is oriented towards methodological considerations with a practice-as-research paradigm. His approach also incorporates ethnographic reflection on social and spatial practices in art, design, performance and film. His wider research interests range across de-colonial practices, public pedagogies and co-producing knowledge.
