Description

Dr Sophie Hope brings together 4 people connected to the MA Art and Social Practice run by UHI Shetland in the University of Highlands and Islands in Scotland. In this podcast episode she talks with four people connected to the MA degree course in Art and Social Practice at the University of the Highlands and Islands.

According to the UHI website, “We are the only university based in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland and we’re a little different – we offer you the choice of studying at one of our colleges or research centres, over 70 local learning centres, or online from wherever you are.”

Sophie talks with Roxane Permar, founder and programme leader; Siún Carden, lecturer and module leader; Nicola Naismith, lecturer and module leader; and Mara Marxt Lewis, former student.

The group discuss the origins of the MA, the structure and content and what it’s like to teach and study on a remote course, where students develop work in the places they live and come together via online seminars and tutorials, a virtual annual symposium and residential winter school.
