Joe McCullagh joined the Manchester School of Art as Head of Design in October 2010. Previously he was the Head of Art with Directorships in Graduate Education, Research and Enterprise at the University of Huddersfield. Originally he studied Fine Art at Trent Polytechnic gaining a first-class degree in painting, drawing and print-making. Like many art graduates Joe built up a ‘portfolio career’ working in related fields.
He has held academic positions at Tower Hamlets College, The London College of Fashion, Coventry University and Nottingham Trent University and continued to work as a freelance designer until 2004 where projects became more focused on design for social responsibility. Joe’s research and expertise are in pedagogy, specifically international and cross-cultural design education. He has been invited internationally to lecture and run workshops on this subject. Joe has also exhibited graphic arts work throughout the UK, South Korea, China, the USA and Cuba.
