University networks, teams, and collaborations

The Binks Hub

We’re working with communities to think, create, and research together. Using art, crafts, and other creative activities, we’re investigating how to tackle the issues that matter most to people, driving real-world, positive change.

The Binks hub is a partnership between individuals, organisations, artists, and academic researchers geared towards supporting arts based, collaborative methods in research. Funded by the Binks Trust, they are working to support such practices through various channels, including networking events, events and seminars,  training, and various other activities.

Parity in Practice

 

The overarching aim of our unique cluster is to unpack and critically engage with issues of equality and inclusion in ways that spark open discussions around how we as a university, a community and a society might foster meaningful and lasting change in these areas which we see as essential to social and cultural progress in the institution and beyond.

Based in the Edinburgh College of Art (ECA), Parity in Practice  is a multi-disciplinary cluster that brings together academics, students, practitioners, activists and community members to explore the role of meaningful democratic participation in imagining alternative practices in arts, pedagogy, and policy.
