GLAADH Guidelines for Project Funding
Reviewed
2/11/2001
Overview
GLAADH was a project of art
and design historians at the University of Sussex, The Open University and
Middlesex University. GLAADH sought to encourage and embed cultural diversity
in the Art, Architecture and Design curriculum. We aimed to identify good
practice, as well as promote and support emerging teaching and learning
strategies in the subject, appropriate to a multicultural society within a
global context.
During our first year we developed a website, bulletin and
JISC list to disseminate and exchange information and organised the first
GLAADH Workshop at the University of Sussex (9-10 November 2001). During 2002
we invited all UK HE institution departments that were assessed under the
1996-99 round of Subject Review in Art, Architecture and Design History, under
the QAA, to apply for funds to support initiatives to diversify the
curricula.For an overview of the funding guidelines and selection
criteria, please see the sections below.
Projects
GLAADH is seeking projects that
will initiate or continue developing areas in the curriculum which will help
diversify current practice. Projects could look at ways of integrating the arts
of less traditionally studied cultures and communities (for example, Asia,
Africa, Oceania and the Americas, but also including lesser studied regions in
Europe and Diaspora communities). Projects should focus on the enhancement of
BA or MA teaching. Projects might include:
- Acquiring teaching resources (slides, books,
subscriptions)
- "Development" time for a permanent member of staff
through teaching buy-out
- Enhancing a current programme of research which will lead
to new curriculum developments
- "Start up" research project for future funding which will
have an impact on the curriculum
- Regional workshops to present recent teaching
developments on a subject

Funding
GLAADH will offer a minimum of
£1,000 per project during 2002. There is no fixed term for the
duration of projects, but departments need to make a commitment of at least two
years of working in partnership with GLAADH. Each project will be assisted by a
member of the GLAADH team which includes art and design historians who have
specific interest in the arts of China, Africa, Black-British, and the
Americas. Projects do not have to be limited to any of these areas. During 2003
GLAADH will organise a series of regional workshops and a summer conference to
support, discuss and disseminate the results of the projects. The GLAADH
projects will be widely disseminated throughout nationally recognised forums as
examples of innovative practice. We will assist participants in identifying
further funding to complement their schemes.
