Pamela Flanagan is Programme Leader for the BA (Hons) Interior Design programme at The Glasgow School of Art. A GSA graduate, she has also completed a PG Cert in Supervision for Creative Practice and a Master's in Education.

Her research explores fictional spaces by analysing constructed interiors in performance, film, and television, investigating how interiors shape narrative, character development, and understandings of fictional worlds. Her pedagogical research examines ethical and inclusive approaches to design education, exploring how socially engaged practices can foster responsible and critical design thinking.

Prior to joining academia, Pamela spent 13 years in London working at Imagination and Brinkworth, specialising in fashion retail design for independent and global clients.

She is a member of GSA's Shopping research cluster, the cross-institutional [iii] Image / Imagining / Interiors network, and the interdisciplinary FFVC network. Her research has been published internationally and presented at conferences across Europe and Hong Kong.
