Creative approaches to exchange across (academic) structures and cultures Rebecca Kay GRAMNet co-convenor Professor of Russian Gender Studies
Working across: • ‘Disciplinary’ boundaries within academia: • Arts • Social Science • ‘Hard’ Sciences • Academic, artistic, practitioner, policy structures • ‘impact’ and knowledge exchange • Partnership and creative collaborations
Cultures at Work and working Interculturally • Belief systems • Languages • Timescales • Priorities and foci • Recognising Power • Building trust • Working relationally
Two examples • Collaborative Masters Projects • Future Memory in Red Road
Collaborative Masters Projects • It all started with a ‘problem’ • Creative solutions: • Reversing the decision making in project design • Supporting the research process in both academic and practical terms • Creative outputs and communicating findings for different audiences • Challenges of different ways of thinking and working
Future memory in Red Road • It all started with ‘fun’, ‘laughter’ and ‘ticks in boxes’ • Relationships as a catalyst to collaboration • Chance meetings and going with the flow • Taking risks, and taking things on trust • Thinking big: the biggest musical instrument in Europe • Getting clever with institutions and their structures: Glasgow University KE fund; Safedem; St Martha’s; Glasgow Housing Association;
