Jennifer Conway

Jennifer Conway is a Senior Lecturer in Graphic Design at the University of the West of England (UWE), based in the Faculty of Arts, Creative Industries, and Education (ACE). She holds an MA in Design and Art Direction from the Manchester School of Art. Her work focuses on integrating community-driven projects into design education, emphasizing ethical and sustainable practices. She collaborates closely with Jessy Young to develop curricula that engage students in live projects with local organizations such as museums, councils, and cultural institutions.

Research interests include the societal impact of graphic design, both positive and negative, and the responsibility of designers in their communities. Her projects prioritize collaborative, interactive, and socially conscious approaches. Beyond UWE, Conway and Young run the studio Conway and Young from Spike Island, undertaking commissioned and self-initiated projects with collaborators like the Bristol Biennial and Feminist Archive South.

No scientific awards or publications are listed, but her professional contributions center on pedagogical innovation and community partnerships. Advising and grant activities are not explicitly detailed in available texts.

Her work extends to reimagining educational frameworks through initiatives like Exploding the University, which challenges traditional academic boundaries.
