Biography

Dr Fiona Jardine can act as a Primary or Co-Supervisor.

Graduating with an MFA from Glasgow School of Art in 2003, Fiona has held teaching & research positions in Contemporary Art, Textile Design and Critical Studies at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design (2006-2009), Heriot-Watt University (2013 – 2017) and GSA (2015 - present). Her PhD research in the Social & Critical Theory Cluster at the University of Wolverhampton (2009–2013) was supervised by the Marxist art historian, Professor John Roberts.

Fiona supervises both practice-led and thesis-based PhDs which relate to her interdisciplinary experience, welcoming proposals which align with her interests: modern, postwar and contemporary design, craft, fashion and textile histories and narratives, particularly those which unfold in - or adjacent to - the field of contemporary art and visual culture; contemporary design, craft, fashion and textile narratives which are constructed through fiction, autoethnography, life writing or use novel documentary and storytelling methods; crossover practices in design, craft, fashion, textile and contemporary art; contemporary critique in craft and design; place-based research.

PGR Supervision Interests

I am interested in supporting practice-led research, whether that is curatorial, studio-based or involves experimental narrative forms.

Teaching

I am Programme Leader for BA (Hons) Fashion Narrative, a new addition to the School of Design portfolio in 2025. It aims to take a fresh approach to the way that fashion stories are told through text, image and display.
