Anna Hickey-Moody is Head of the PhD in Arts and Learning at the Centre for The Arts and Learning at Goldsmiths College, London. Anna has developed a philosophically informed, cultural studies approach to youth arts as a subcultural form of humanities education. Her books include 'Youth, Arts and Education' (Routledge, 2013), 'Unimaginable Bodies' (Sense Publishers, 2009) and 'Masculinity Beyond the Metropolis' (Palgrave, 2006). Anna has edited a number of collected works - recently she published an anthology on pedagogy, media and affect called 'Disability Matters' (Routledge, 2011) which explores how ideas and experiences of disability come to matter across assemblages of media, through vectors of affect and experiences of pedagogy.. Anna teaches and supervises in the areas of arts practice, youth culture, masculinity, the cultural politics of schooling and aesthetics.
