Biography

Mia works in the intersections of contemporary cultural practices, community and youth studies, and education . She is interested in the pedagogical affordances of making and witnessing arts and culture, the relationships (human and non -human) inherent in every learning engagement, and a perspective on those engagements that accounts for more than the representable signifiers . From a background that ranges from community arts in rural Ireland, to training and scholarship in Dublin, Moscow, London, and Vancouver, and teaching, research, and community practice in varied contexts in Ireland and Canada, Mia has recently relocated to Glasgow, Scotland .
