Noel Bowler
Senior Lecturer in Photography
His work has continued to examine the idea of ‘the institution’ (In a global sense) and the effects of change and circumstance on these institutions and the ideals we take for granted. From the changing face of the world labour market in the time of a global recession, to the evolution of the global newspaper newsroom, his photographs, exhibitions and publications have looked at the ongoing consideration of the political forces that shape our world reflected through the organisation of social space. He has extensive experience in exhibiting and publishing his work with long established galleries and publishers. He has a long track record of continually producing high quality outputs for research both on time and in budget. He have delivered international presentations of these works in Europe, The United States and Japan. Within a corporate context he has more than five years experience of corporate governance and best practice on the Board of Directors at Source Magazine
