Catherine Dormor

Professor Catherine Dormor is a practising artist, writer and academic whose research focuses on the ways in which textile practices and structures can become vehicles for thinking about what it means to be in community. She takes a feminist approach to community, in which care, compassion and the ethics of the individual become focal points for art-making and art-thinking. She is currently Pro Vice-Chancellor and Head of College: Design, Creative and Digital Industries at the University of Westminster, London, leading a large team across a range of creative disciplines within which learning and teaching are spaces for mutual engagement and understanding.
