Gerard Fox
I lecture in Image-making and Typography and my teaching is informed by my experiences working as a graphic designer in the Netherlands, UK and Ireland. Whilst primarily a design educator, I also continue to run a small communication design practice.'

Research projects
My research centres on the design and development of teaching and learning methodologies and curriculum design. This contributes to the ongoing evolution of module and programme curricula in both BA and MA programmes across Faculty. I have been an NCCA Education Consultant for the redesign of the Junior and Leaving Cert. Cycle in Art, Craft, Design. From 2012-2015, I was a member of the inaugural Curatorial Panel for the 100 Archive, an on-line archive for Irish Visual Communication Design.
