In this article we examine how 19 students in creative arts disciplines in two universities experience work in not-for-profit and public sectors. We explore the notion of transfer from university education and suggest that 'creative transfer' is taking place, often in more than one direction. Students draw on their life-wide experiences as they deem appropriate in new situations and also vicarious learning from university settings. The extent to which creative transfer happens is, we suggest, tempered by relational affordances between the individual, the people they encounter, the opportunities they perceive in new situations and the value or reward perceived in the new work environment. These findings have implications for supporting students in practice-based learning and work settings and we provide some recommendations for maximising the potential for multi-directional transfer
23Statement: We have had numerous important surveys and studies documenting well the status of women in anthropology and its various subdisciplines. Statistics remind us that women are still strikingly underrepresented at all levels in some subdisciplines while in others the status of women is vulnerable in more subtle ways. It should be the task of this Committee to focus on understanding the sources of discrimination and differential treatment and develop specijics for eliminating them. The coming years of academic employment, for example, should witness some striking demographic shifts, with many retirements and recruiting. This is a time when the relative positions of women (and minorities) can be changed. I believe that the task of COSWA in the coming years is to develop speciJic educational, counseling and training programs for anthropologists and their support contacts, such as granting agencies. We should seek ways to understand and eliminate aspects of discrimination that persist. We should continue to work closely with groups within the Association such as Placement, the Newsletter. various editorial b0urd.v of journuls and other anthropological sources of research and employment. More lhan a decade ago, 1 served on this Committee in its formative years. I huve now considered not only the status of women in our profession, but also how women m e considered in our anthropological researches. I would be very excited to participate in the COSWA that moves into the 1990s with a very specijic agenda and a mission to address the issues and needs of women in anthropology. at all levels, and in all kinds of anthropological activities.

The curation of four ‘teaching exhibitions’ of pedagogic research outputs in a specialist arts university is presented as a case study of distributed leadership practice, with the leadership in question being positioned as a feminized mode of leading educational or academic development from a middle-out position. Scholarship of teaching and learning focused upon the development of academic micro-cultures within universities is collided with thinking around arts-informed approaches to leadership. Through reflexively evaluating her nascent curatorial practice, the author reconsiders what academic development leadership in the specific organizational culture of the arts university can look like when arts modalities are brought into play.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
