Description
Simon Denison outlines his research exploring the value of reflexivity for expanding and enriching our understanding of photographs, ourselves and each other.
Simon Denison has led the Critical Studies (academic) programme at HCA since 2012, working to really engage students with the thrill of ideas and new ways of thinking about the meaning and value of creative practice – both their own practice and that of other people.
Simon teaches across all HE courses in the college, at both MA and BA level, in particular preparing BA (Hons) students for the exciting challenge of their Dissertation in Year 3. In a varied career, Simon has worked as a writer for newspapers including The Independent, The Guardian and The Telegraph; he founded the award-winning magazine British Archaeology, which he edited for ten years; he has taught history and theory of photography at Birmingham City University; and he has also exhibited nationally and internationally as a photographer.
