Editorial

This general issue of the journal of Art, Design & Communication in Higher Education brings together articles that were previously published via Online First in 2024 and early 2025. Our Online First route enables authors to publish their articles on the ADCHE site ahead of an issue’s publication and build up readership and citations. A diverse range of topics are explored in this issue, with contributions from across disciplinary areas and geographical contexts. This issue also sees the launch of a new ADCHE journal cover image, which seeks to capture the interwoven relationship between past, present and future. ADCHE manuscripts and the work of the editorial team are shaped by these connections, which inform the research, methodologies and contributions that fuel advancements in higher education teaching and learning.
