Mary Modeen is an artist/academic whose research links creative practice with interdisciplinary academic studies in the humanities, particularly philosophy, literature, feminist and indigenous studies. Her research has several threads: perception as a cognitive and interpretive process, and place-based research, which tends to connect cultural values, history and embodied experience. As such, this work usually combines creative art practice and writing. 

 

Professor Modeen is Associate Dean (Internationalisation) and Chair of Interdisciplinary Art Practice at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design, University of Dundee, as well as Coordinator of PhD Studies. Her PhD supervision is also characterised by interdisciplinary investigations, linking studio practice with academic enquiry. International research networks, three of which Modeen co-convenes (PLaCE International, Mapping Spectral Traces, and LAND2) are central in conducting the critical discourse which address, challenge and strengthen these research insights.
