BAU, Centre Universitari d'Arts i Disseny

• Spain
• Higher Education
• 1 - 100 Employee

• Professor of Visual Communication

  • Sep 2012 - Jan 2015

  From 2012 to 2015 I taught Visual Communication to 4th year Graphic Design students at Bau, emphasizing Design Theory, Visual Analysis and Criticism, including Critical Design. Despite my serious commitment to teaching and the academic community, contributing extra-curricular projects, engaging students and other professors, contributing to faculty projects, I was subject to a dismissal that was legally recognized as unjustified. Current professors are still using my notes, which I find incoherent. I wish their future development as a degree-granting school the best of luck
