Dr Corinne van Beilen works as a senior researcher in arts education within the professorship Art Education. She also serves as programme manager of the Master Education in Arts.
Her research focuses primarily on the professional practices of individuals working in arts education and cultural participation. Such as primary school teachers, art subject teachers, museum educators, consultants, artists, cultural entrepreneurs and management teams. The questions central to her work include: How do professionals shape their art education practices, and what beliefs underpin their approach? How do they find a role within this that holds meaning for them?
Corinne is also interested in the broader societal and cultural context in which practices in art education and cultural participation are situated, and the specific challenges this presents for professionals or their participants.
Corinne was trained as an andragogue and obtained her PhD in the field of Creative Industries with a dissertation titled "Learning Processes in Creative Industries Initiatives in Developing Countries". She specialises in qualitative research methods and participatory, design-based approaches to practice-based research.
