Art, Design and Museology (ADM) has a rich research culture that has praxis at its core.
Research is often, but not exclusively, allied to the promotion of professional and theoretical change across educational cultures in schools, art colleges, museums, galleries and heritage sites.
- Publications
ADM's academic staff publish/present their research in academic and professional journals, edited collections, books, art exhibitions and related catalogues.
- Cultural activities
Staff contribute regularly to public-facing cultural activities: lobbying and advocacy, programming and curating, sitting on committees and juries, organising conferences in order to shape cultural and educational debates.

- Lectures and seminars
Lectures, seminars and tutorials are informed by staff and student diversity and a commitment to meaningful international cultural exchange.
Research seminars
We hold regular research seminars that include presentations from practitioners, theorists, educators, and museum and gallery professionals that provide MPhil/PhD students and tutors with opportunities to present their work-in-progress.
Such seminars and exhibitions are open to all students (PGCE, MA, EdD, MPhil, and PhD) and academic staff both within and beyond IOE.

Projects
Lecturers lead purposeful research projects often within public educational settings that have access, inclusion and social change as their remit. These include:
- Child Language Brokering
Spaces of identity belonging and mediators of cultural knowledge
A project that investigates the practices of young interpreters (aka child language brokers).
Child language brokers
These are children or young people who translate or interpret on behalf of adult family members, siblings or peers who do not speak the local language.
Team
This project brings together a unique combination of researchers, including Dr Claire Robins, language networks and artists to raise the visibility of young interpreters by researching, documenting, promoting understanding, and enhancing the awareness of their practices.
