Kate Coleman

Associate Professor Kathryn (Kate) Coleman is a neurodivergent artist-educator working at the intersections of art, technology, climate futures, and teacher education at the University of Melbourne. As co-director of SWISP Lab and President of Art Education Australia, she leads internationally recognised work in speculative design, a/r/tography, and living-lab methodologies across Melbourne, Bengaluru, Delhi, Atlanta and beyond. Her research explores how creativity, digital humanities, and more-than-human pedagogies can transform teacher education in precarious times. Through collaborative storytelling, climate action, and studio-based inquiry, she works with teachers and young people to imagine and make more just, equitable and relational futures.
