Prof. dr. Jeroen Lutters – Projectmanager

Jeroen Lutters is lecturer Art Education as Critical Tactics (AeCT) at ArtEZ University of the Arts and in recent years has been a visiting professor at the University of Groningen, the University of Amsterdam and the University ofCalifornia. Before that, he was rector of the Vrije Hogeschool in Driebergen, lecturer in art and cultural education at Windesheim University of Applied Sciences, and a member of the management team of teacher training courses at Utrecht University of Applied Sciences. He is the founder of Bernard Lievegoed University in Driebergen, Teachers College Windesheim in Zwolle and (No) University in Zwolle. He received his PhD from the University of Amsterdam with Mieke Bal (ASCA), whose narratological approach deeply influenced him. His way of looking at art, known as Art-Based (Un) Learning (ABL), enjoys national and international acclaim. Besides ‘In the Shadow of the Work of Art: Art-Based Learning in Practice', he wrote a series of monographs on great Western artists, such as Michelangelo Buonarroti, Michelangelo Caravaggio, Gerhard Richter, Cy Twombly, and important Western essayists such as Michel de Montaigne, Ralph Waldo Emerson and Virginia Woolf. His philosophy, rooted inthe recognition of positive ‘creative reason’, creative intelligence, is described in detail in Creative Theories of (Just About) Everything and offers concrete tools for contemporary art education. In the professorship Art Education as Critical Tactics, consisting of fifteen researchers, work is being done on extensive theorization in the Oxford Handbook for Art- Based (Un)Learning, two post doc trajectories have now been realized, five PhD students are working and a series of subsidized projects are being worked on, including the extensive RAAK PRO trajectory ‘Art-Based Learning in palliative care’, together with the University of Amsterdam, the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, the University of Twente, the Radboud University and various academies and museums.

His dissertation (University of Groningen, 2019) deals with the cultural awareness of young people as a rationale for co-developing cross-curricular art and cultural education in co-creation. In 2020, he conducted research from ArtEZ on how inclusion can be worked on from socially engaged artistic practices from within art education programs. In 2021, from the AeCT professorship, he led the research project on the development and embedding of the Teachers College at Windesheim. His background is the Research Master in Literary and Cultural Studies (RuG) with a focus on film theory. From his experience in research, educational development and film education, he is researching how the integration of film education works, with Netwerk Filmeducatie and the sixregional Filmhubs. He is currently working on the new structure of the arts in secondary education. At ArtEZ he is currently developing the module ‘Artist educator in Film’. His affinity lies with collaborative practice-based research, in which working in a learning community simultaneously provides insight and contributes to educational development. Heis particularly interested in the possibilities of fiction in education and research.
