With a twenty-five-year history of art and social justice practice Australia and Canada, Marnie's research sits at the intersection of socially engaged arts practice, community-based research methodologies and the politics of cultural measurement. Through aesthetic forms of encounter and exchange, her work brings together disparate groups of people in dialogue to examine and affect local social issues. Marnie is a Senior Research Fellow at the School of Art following the prestigious award of Vice Chancellor’s Postdoctoral Research Fellow (2017-2019) at RMIT University in Melbourne. Here, Marnie teaches both practice and theory in socially-engaged art, art in public space, art history and theory, and arts management and leads an arts industry research partnership with NAVA National Association of Visual Arts (standards of practice).
