One of the country’s leading cultural theorists, Griselda Pollock is known as a feminist academic and authority on the history of film and visual art. From January 2015, she will join the undergraduate fine art department at Camberwell College of Arts as a Practitioner in Residence for a year.

Director of the Centre for Cultural Analysis, Theory and History (CATH) at Leeds University, she is a scholar of international, postcolonial feminist studies in the visual arts.  Over the coming year, Pollock will play a key role in Camberwell College’s curriculum, collaborating directly with students through lectures, seminars, workshops and studio critiques.

The role of Practitioner in Residence has been developed by the University to invite experts into the colleges to give students hands-on support and advice as they develop their practice and build their career skills.

This is the first lecture by Griselda Pollock in a series that will take place in Spring 2016.
