Daniel Gutiérrez-Ujaque is a Lecturer in the area of Didactics and School Organization at the Department of Education Sciences at the University of Lleida. His lines of research focus on improving the university learning experience through critical pedagogy and artistic practices from a rhizomatic approach between different disciplines (geography, sociology, anthropology and arts) in order to create new research opportunities. This has led him to improve educational experiences in higher education by incorporating urban space, sensory perception, corporality and the arts in the learning process. His work has shown how the use of contemporary art can create critical, creative and inclusive learning environments. In 2022, Daniel won a Margarita Salas Postdoctoral Contract with NextGenerationUE funding for one year at Brunel University London in order to capture, through artistic methods, how artistic and sensorial experiences shape the quality of life in urban environments. The experience culminated in the interactive exhibition “Echoes of Uxbridge”. Currently, he is a member of GUNi International Call to Action, aimed at the transformation and innovation of higher education in order to respond to social challenges from a sustainable, innovative and socially responsible perspective. His latest publications are focused on demonstrating that university learning is more experiential and socially relevant, encouraging the educational community to become active participants in their education and be agents of social change.
