house has a door, and the founder of the now inactive small
zine press, FOR AND FROM OUTSIDERS PRESS. Jorge is the cover editor for the Journal of Curriculum and Pedagogy (Taylor and Francis), published by The Curriculum and Pedagogy Group .
Jorge's
current research is concerned with the interactions between contemporary art
practices with distinctly pedagogical properties (such as performance
and conceptual art) and how those modes of operation propose alternative
approaches to learning, relationships, ethics, spirituality, generativity,
and civic engagement. Currently his pedagogical and
artistic practices merge in works
of nearness
that he completes with his
wife and their four children. |
