Mia Perry

Biography

Mia is a Professor of Arts and Literacies in Education at the University of Glasgow, and the Co-Director of the Sustainable Futures Global Network. Working across many spaces of difference -- disciplines, geographies, sectors, cultures – Mia specialises in literacies and learning, with a particular focus on pluriversal literacies - encompassing literacies beyond print and spoken language. To this end, the arts and cultural production are central to her practices of research and teaching. Mia’s work in education spans inside and outside schools, community and public contexts, digital and informal learning. She is particularly interested in the interplay of humans and environments, the role of cultural practice and play in learning, and perspectives in research that account for plural views and ways of making meaning. From a background in theatre, and the Third Sector, Mia works in partnership with a wide network of scholars, artists, and civil society organisations in Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas.
