The Experimental Pedagogies Research Group (EPRG) will be guest-editing UAL’s Spark journal in 2026/7. This special issue will be celebrating the sometimes overlooked or under-recognised ‘minor gestures’ (e.g. Manning, 2016) of our teaching and learning environments.
We would like to invite you to participate in gathering our pedagogical minor gestures together. This is an opportunity to share the work we do, with students, through collaboration, to engage, include and explore.
This call seeks other forms of creative response, including:
> images (still or moving)
> sound
> structures
> provocations
> poetry
> narratives
> transcripts
> dialogues
> discussion
> inconclusive writing
> (un)essays
> staff, student and co-produced work
> documentation of collaborative events / artefacts
… or any other contribution that considers relationships of experimental pedagogies and minor gestures
How we have enacted or perceived something’ which has brought about a
response, change or effect in a learning environment – and how can we express and celebrate our pedagogical attempts and realisations?
Have we resources to explore in our archives or experience? What have we tried? Where are the risks? When might we risk? How else can we try? What do we ‘value’? In what ways might we handle what we find?
What if …? What other…? How, now?
