ABOUT STEPHEN MONGER

At UWE Bristol, I am Associate Director for Design Communication with operational oversight and strategic care for undergraduate Graphic Design and Illustration. I am also Programme Leader for MA Design Communication with its three courses of Graphic Design, Illustration and Fashion Photography. I have an extensive portfolio of consultancy work, programme reviews, and validations, that has allowed me to work with colleagues at the Open University and their partners across the country, plus UCA Farnham, Falmouth University, University of Wales Trinity Saint David, University of Northampton, University of the West of Scotland, and University of Lincoln. I am an experienced undergraduate and postgraduate external examiner.Outside of higher education I continue to work in the voluntary sector with communities and local government, to instigate grant funded projects and enhancements in community public space. One such project was the building of a large wildlife pond (2018) and the design of signage to zone a wildlife area (2022).My research interests and practice, rooted within photography, have broadened over the years. I curated a series of public talks called ‘Shifting Screens: Conversations on Motion Graphics’ held at Arnolfini, Bristol, February 2020. Through my earlier years I exhibited large format photographs in the UK and Europe. You can see this work at:
