Jodie Silsby is interested in creating new learning experiences. Together with Ian Jackson they have collaborated with G.F Smith papers to form project Legacy - this enquiry showcased the work of BA (Hons) Graphic Arts students at Winchester School of Art alongside the prestigious archive collection of G.F Smith. Students were asked to investigate the legacy of values and behaviours orginated from unexpected visual or verbal sources. They have also worked alongside Bilgi University to develop a research investigation, Crossing Borders. This project offers opportunities for cross-cultural, multi-disciplinary and multi-platform student engagement, whilst acting as a template for institutional sharing of pedagogical good practice, which can be applied to internationalised and transnational student bodies. The project was a collaborative investigation between the BA Graphic Arts and BA Industrial Design programmes, that focused on the wider contexts of immigration in and outside the EU.
