Plough Publishing House The Liberating Arts: Why We Need Liberal Arts
Book SynopsisA new generation of teachers envisions a liberal arts education that is good for everyone. Why would anyone study the liberal arts? It’s no secret that the liberal arts have fallen out of favor and are struggling to prove their relevance. The cost of college pushes students to majors and degrees with more obvious career outcomes. A new cohort of educators isn’t taking this lying down. They realize they need to reimagine and rearticulate what a liberal arts education is for, and what it might look like in today’s world. In this book, they make an honest reckoning with the history and current state of the liberal arts. You may have heard – or asked – some of these questions yourself: Aren’t the liberal arts a waste of time? How will reading old books and discussing abstract ideas help us feed the hungry, liberate the oppressed and reverse climate change? Actually, we first need to understand what we mean by truth, the good life, and justice. Aren’t the liberal arts racist? The “great books” are mostly by privileged dead white males. Despite these objections, for centuries the liberal arts have been a resource for those working for a better world. Here’s how we can benefit from ancient voices while expanding the conversation. Aren’t the liberal arts liberal? Aren’t humanities professors mostly progressive ideologues who indoctrinate students? In fact, the liberal arts are an age-old tradition of moral formation, teaching people to think for themselves and learn from other perspectives. Aren’t the liberal arts elitist? Hasn’t humanities education too often excluded poor people and minorities? While that has sometime been the case, these educators map out well-proven ways to include people of all social and educational backgrounds. Aren’t the liberal arts a bad career investment? I really just want to get a well-paying job and not end up as an overeducated barista. The numbers – and the people hiring – tell a different story. In this book, educators mount a vigorous defense of the humanist tradition, but also chart a path forward, building on their tradition’s strengths and addressing its failures. In each chapter, dispatches from innovators describe concrete ways this is being put into practice, showing that the liberal arts are not only viable today, but vital to our future. *** Contributors include Emily Auerbach, Nathan Beacom, Jeffrey Bilbro, Joseph Clair, Margarita Mooney Clayton, Lydia Dugdale, Brad East, Don Eben, Becky L. Eggimann, Rachel Griffis, David Henreckson, Zena Hitz, David Hsu, L. Gregory Jones, Brandon McCoy, Peter Mommsen, Angel Adams Parham, Steve Prince, John Mark Reynolds, Erin Shaw, Anne Snyder, Sean Sword, Noah Toly, Jonathan Tran, and Jessica Hooten Wilson Trade ReviewIn this series of lively, absorbing, and accessible essays, the contributors invoke and dismantle all the chief objections to the study of the liberal arts. The result is a clarion call for an education that enables human and societal flourishing. Everyone concerned about the fate of learning today must read this book. —Eric Adler, author, The Battle of the ClassicsIn our era of massive social and technological upheaval, this book offers a robust examination of and an expansive vision for the liberal arts. As a scientist who believes that education should shape us for lives of reflection and action, I found the essays riveting, challenging, and inspiring. I picked it up and could not put it down. —Francis Su, author, Mathematics for Human FlourishingAt their best, the humanities are about discerning what kinds of lives we should be living. But humanities education is in crisis today, leaving many without resources to answer this most important question of our lives. The authors of this volume are able contenders for the noble cause of saving and improving the humanities. Read and be inspired! —Miroslav Volf, co-author, Life Worth LivingIn this lucid and inspiring volume, a diverse group of thinkers dispel entrenched falsehoods about the irrelevance, injustice, or uselessness of the liberal arts and remind us that nothing is more fundamental to preparing citizens to live in a pluralistic society attempting to balance the values of justice, equality, and community. —Jon Baskin, editor, Harper'sTable of ContentsChapter 1: What are the Liberating Arts?

Information Age Publishing Peace is Everyone's Business
Book SynopsisThe premise of this book is very simple. While acknowledging that much progress has been made since the end of World War II to improve life conditions for billions of people and reduce the likelihood of war, current global challenges threaten to undermine, undo, or even reverse much of the progress made. Growing political and social polarization, and the resultant increasing fear of each other, is on a trajectory that could cause unprecedented harm. The book illustrates how everyone can have an impact on peace and that many already do so in both constructive and negative ways, illustrated by many examples. The book offers an expansive view of peace, which includes promoting human rights, identifying and resolving situations of slow violence, working to promote fair and sustainable economic development, identifying and resolving injustices, and establishing institutions and practices for resolving conflicts by communicative means. The book especially focuses on the role universities can and should play in promoting peace. Universities, which have played a pivotal role in creating a more humane and just world through their research, teaching and scholarship, now face the challenge of thoughtfully examining how each discipline and vocation and the university as a whole can contribute to fostering peace. In general, universities help to prepare students actively to work for peace by cultivating their capacities at reasoning and reflecting, developing their skills in communicating and research, and fostering among them an active awareness of their responsibilities as citizens of the world. While not every discipline or vocation shares the same level of responsibility to advance peace, all have the potential to do so as they intentionally and thoughtfully look for avenues to do so.

Lexington Books The Influence of Dramatic Arts on Literacies for
Book SynopsisFor urban middle school Black girls to fit in educational settings and society they must be seen and understood in their unique ways. They must be able to utilize certain literacies that assist with navigating what they say and how they speak, their confidence, expressions, and identities, as Black girls in these settings. In The Influence of Dramatic Arts on Literacies for Black Girls in Middle School, York demonstrates the impact that practicing drama strategies has on foundational, digital, and identity literacies for middle school Black girls. Personal stories of Black girls are shared on how drama strategies help them navigate discrimination, racist and misogynistic slurs, and even support their self confidence and public speaking. The basis of these stories are told through a Black feminist thought lens, which York uses to take readers through surprising drama strategies that Black girls adopt to help them become resilient and confident while embracing themselves fully. Readers will see the benefits of Black girls practicing drama in a safe space guided by a drama teacher that is a Black women who chooses culturally relevant pedagogy for her students.Trade ReviewSensational – Dr. York offers the essence of Black Girl Magic in this book.

This book not only improved my capability as a research and author to investigate the positive approaches to uplift Black girls in K-12 schools, but it has improved how I, as a father and husband, protect and empower the Black girls and woman that I live with in my household. For those new to Black feminist thought, this book provides an entry way into this conceptual framework that has existed for decades and it illuminates why the framework matters when discussing Black girls and women in education. -- John A.

Harvard Educational Publishing Group Social Justice Art Education: A Framework for Activist Art Pedagogy
Book SynopsisExpanding on a groundbreaking framework, this revised edition connects activist art education with current campaigns for social justice. Nearly a decade after Social Justice Art, innovative arts educator Marit Dewhurst returns with a new edition offering further guidance for developing meaningful, justice-centered art programming. Reflecting on a growing interest in the field and its place within larger movements that uses creative strategies to drive social change, Dewhurst brings new research to bear on her interviews with educators, artists, and students to suggest clear, actionable approaches to facilitating the collaborative process of creating art for social change. In Social Justice Art Education, Dewhurst examines how to teach art-making to address systems of injustice, how to talk about the process, and the role of activist art projects not only in school classrooms but also within museum education, afterschool education, and other youth programming. In a new chapter, she introduces essential steps that prepare educators to engage in this work: recognizing power differentials, identifying community strengths, and nurturing relationships. Through real-world examples, Dewhurst highlights three key learning processes—connecting, questioning, and transforming—and frames a critical arts pedagogy that incorporates collaboration, inquiry-based discussion, and changemaking into arts curricula. This invigorating work provides common language and concrete support for educators and others who want to expand and refine their practices, empowering students through liberatory education that aims to inspire social change.Trade Review“This updated edition of an already invaluable book is a gift to all educators, not just those explicitly teaching art. It is for every one of us committed to embracing the many mediums through which young people create their own visions of new, more beautiful worlds.” —Carla Shalaby, coordinator of social justice initiatives and community internships, Marsal Family School of Education, University of Michigan“Social Justice Art Education offers clear pathways toward the endeavor’s ‘purposes, practices, and products’ while vividly illuminating its complexity for teachers, administrators, parents, funders, and policymakers. The field needs this book to avoid passionate superficiality by employing a simple framework to promote quality and depth as youth speak their minds.” —Lois Hetland, professor emerita, Massachusetts College of Art and Design

Fairleigh Dickinson University Press Teaching William Morris
Book SynopsisA prolific artist, writer, designer, and political activist, the work of William Morris remains remarkably powerful and relevant today. But how do you teach someone like Morris who made significant contributions to several different fields of study? And how, within the exigencies of the modern educational system, can teachers capture the interdisciplinary spirit of this polymath, whose various contributions hang so curiously together? Teaching William Morris gathers together the work of nineteen Morris scholars from a variety of fields, offering a wide array of perspectives on the challenges and the rewards of teaching William Morris. Across the book’s five sections – “Art and Design,” “Literature,” “Political Contexts,” “Pasts and Presents,” and “Digital Humanities” – readers will learn the history of Morris’s place in the modern curriculum, the current state of the field for teaching Morris’s work today, and how this pedagogical effort is reaching beyond the classroom by way of books, museums, and digital resources.Table of ContentsAcknowledgments Introduction: “The Earthly Paradox”: Teaching William Morris Jason D.

Book SynopsisThe field of embodiment theorizes bodies as knowledgeable in ways that include but are not solely cognitive. The contributors to this collection suggest developing embodied ways of teaching, learning, and knowing through embodied experiences such as yoga, mindfulness, illness, and trauma. Although the contributors challenge Western educational frameworks from within and beyond academic settings, they also acknowledge and draw attention to the incommensurability between decolonization and aspects of social justice projects in education. By addressing this tension ethically and deliberately, the contributors engage thoughtfully with decolonization and make a substantial, and sometimes unsettling, contribution to critical studies in education.

Intellect Books Arts Integration in Education: Teachers and
Book SynopsisArts Integration in Education is an insightful, even inspiring investigation into the enormous possibilities for change that are offered by the application of arts integration in education. Presenting research from a range of settings, from preschool to university, and featuring contributions from scholars and theorists, educational psychologists, teachers and teaching artists, the book offers a comprehensive exploration and varying perspectives on theory, impact and practices for arts-based training and arts-integrated instruction across the curriculum.Trade Review'The authors deftly demonstrate that when skilled teaching artists and thoughtful classroom teachers partner, their dynamic exchange impacts both teacher practice and student learning. Classrooms become active, vibrant studios of creative exploration, informed by genuine content and modeled after the artistic process of ongoing reflection and revision.' -- Peter Avery * Director of Theatre, New York City Department *'The authors of Arts Integration in Education make a powerful argument for weaving art into every aspect of education. If you’re an administrator, teacher, or parent who is concerned about the erosion of school art programs, this book will give you the ammunition you need to make the case for reform.' -- Daniel H. Pink * author of A Whole New Mind and Drive *'This book so beautifully encapsulates how gravely necessary innovation has become in our education system, with a wide range of voices that all agree: We must not allow the arts to become privatized, we must keep growing as students, teachers, and artists to create a better world.' -- Debbie Allen * Actress/Dancer/Choreographer/Director/Producer/Founder and Artistic Director of the Debbie Allen Dance Academy *'In Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, I found some ancient roots of academic arts integration – e.g., illustrating, painting, or applying silver and gold leaf to religious images – mainly in service to reverence and aesthetics. But, unexpectedly, I also witnessed the visual arts as partners in secular learning and scientific understanding – diverse partners in expression, imagining, inventing, and creating. When I reviewed this book, the ancient roots came to mind, but I was also reminded of the progress we’ve made in making arts integration a reality for today’s teachers, for teaching artists, and, most importantly, for our students.' -- James S. Catterall, Professor Emeritus, UCLA; Director, Centers for Research on Creativity'It is imperative for teacher development faculty to prepare our future generation of teachers with a deep understanding of arts integration as the arts experiences connect to every discipline. I plan to incorporate this new book into my education classes immediately!' -- Kathy Unrath, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Art Education, Director of Graduate Studies, Learning Teaching and Curriculum, University of Missouri'Arts Integration in Education is a comprehensive and useful book. In this context, ‘arts integration’ is taken to mean both education through the arts and education in the arts in formal education. The book describes a wide range of practices using a rich diversity of art forms. Those who will find the book most valuable will be artists or classroom teachers seeking to develop and enhance their practice, while those managing artist/teacher programmes will find it useful in guiding the development of their practitioners.' -- Paul Collard, Arts ProfessionalTable of ContentsForeword Acknowledgments Introduction: Teachers First Yvonne Pelletier Lewis and Gail Humphries Mardirosian, Ph.D. Section I: Theory: Foundations of Arts Integration and Teacher Training Reflection: Cognitive and Affective Frameworks for Arts-Based Teaching and Teacher Change Gail Humphries Mardirosian, Ph.D. Chapter 1: Cognition, Knowledge Construction, and Motivation to Learn: Models and Theories Lynn H.

Intellect Books Community Arts Education: Transversal Global
Book SynopsisThis edited collection offers global perspectives on the transverse, boundary-blurring possibilities of community arts education. Invoking ‘transversality’ as an overarching theoretical framework and a methodological structure, 55 contributors – community professionals, scholars, artists, educators and activists from sixteen countries – offer studies and practical cases exploring the complexities of community arts education at all levels. Such complexities include challenges created by globalizing phenomena such as the COVID-19 pandemic; ongoing efforts to achieve justice for Indigenous peoples; continuing movement of immigrants and refugees; growing recognition of issues related to equity, diversity and inclusion in the workplace; and the increasing impact of grassroot movements and organizations. Chapters are grouped into four thematic clusters – Connections, Practices, Spaces and Relations – that map these and other intersecting assemblages of transversality. Thinking transversally about community art education not only shifts our understanding of knowledge from a passive construct to an active component of social life but redefines art education as a distinctive practice emerging from the complex relationships that form community.Table of ContentsAcknowledgements Introduction Ching-Chiu Lin PART 1: Transversal Connections Chapter 1: Twenty-First Century Winter Journey: Exploring Comics, Adaptation and Community Art Education Julian Lawrence Chapter 2: The University as an Institute of Permanent Creation: Developing ‘a Gift for Living’ in Neoliberal Times Raphael Vella Chapter 3: Seeing What Unfolds: New Ways of Exploring Community Art Education in Formal Learning Spaces Kathryn Coleman and Marnee Watkins Chapter 4: ‘Making University’: The Role of Corporeality, Matter and Physical Spaces to Create a Sense of Community Sara Carrasco Segovia Chapter 5: I Wish You a Good Life: Embedding Intergenerational Learning Into Pre-Service Education Through Art, Community and Environment Geraldine Burke Chapter 6: Community-Based Art Education: Promoting Revitalization and Eco-Cultural Resilience for Cultural Sustainability Timo Jokela and Mirja Hiltunen Part 2: Transversal Practices Chapter 7: Making Meaning, Creating (in) Community: An International Dialogue on Community Art Education Within Early Childhood Contexts Geralyn (Gigi) Yu, Alex Halligey and Judith Browne Chapter 8: Identifying Images as a Strategy for Emotional Interaction with the Environment: Neighbourhoods as Engraving Support Jessica Castillo Inostroza Chapter 9: We Are Small, but We Have Loud Voices: Children Leading the Way to Support Community Connections Through Art Sue Girak Chapter 10: Infernal Learning: Becoming Members of Academic Communities Anniina Suominen, Tiina Pusa, Minna Suoniemi, Eljas Suvanto and Elina Julin Chapter 11: Seeds in the Wind!

Intellect Books Let's Talk about Critique: Reimagining Art and
Book SynopsisThis book explores the tradition of critique in art and design education. It examines how critique, as a signature pedagogy in the field, has evolved, how it falls short, and what else it can be. Current practices are contextualized and suggestions are made for ways to have more open, inclusive and dynamic classroom conversations about art and design. Included is a discussion of the history of critique, grounding current practice in the discipline’s history, the field of education, and characteristics of contemporary students. The book is designed to be useful, with an array of critique methods, written by experienced arts educators. Each one guides the reader through a method, describing “why you might do it this way” and “for what group, purpose, or type of assignment”. The text explores what the art critique is, and what it can be, offering practical, updated approaches for faculty and students seeking more educationally beneficial and nuanced critiqueTrade Review"Let’s Talk about Critique includes a variety of ways to look at and talk about work, pushing beyond the stale traditions and enlivening the possibilities for what can happen in discussing art. Armstrong and Doren provide a very thorough history and critique of the critique, as well as solutions to the inadequacies of the past traditions. The book meets an important need, evolving the critique from an authority/judgment model to a dialogue where all voices are respected and content meaning is addressed." -- Susan Waters-Eller, Maryland Institute College of Art“In Let’s Talk about Critique, Armstrong and Doren make a compelling case for the necessity of different studio critiques within contemporary higher education. This book is an extensive and diverse catalogue of innovative studio critiques, explores the history of the studio critique, and discusses recent studies on Generation Z.” -- Roger Rothman, Bucknell UniversityTable of ContentsList of Figures List of Tables Acknowledgements Introduction 1.

Lexington Books Music Education on the Verge: Stories of Pandemic
Book SynopsisIn March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic swept the world causing physical, emotional, economic, and social upheaval in every part of the globe. It also catalyzed a renewed interrogation, by music education faculty in higher education, of philosophies and practices that had long gone unexamined.Music Education on the Verge: Stories of Pandemic Teaching and Transformative Change is a collection of narratives by music teacher-educators describing how they responded to the disruption of the COVID-19 pandemic with, and for, their students. Through these stories, the authors step back and reflect on the events, challenges, triumphs, and innovations discovered as they prepared the next generation of music educators in this time of crisis. They tell stories of reexamining old frameworks, discovering new affordances of technologies, humanizing pedagogy, deepening culturally responsive and sustaining experiences, and creating space for democratic practices. Each chapter offers examples of innovative music pedagogy that can be adapted and applied by music educators and music teacher educators with their students. Collectively, they paint a picture of possibilities, challenging music teacher-educators— and educators in all fields— to seek out openings and pursue pedagogies of change as we move forward into a post-pandemic world. Trade ReviewIn this deeply complicated and emotionally charged discipline of music teaching and learning, once in a while a book comes along that touches the very soul of what we do. Maas and Lewis have expertly edited and contributed to a collection of reflections about what really matters. Sad that it took a world pandemic to prompt these kinds of meaningful perspectives and stories of bravery and creativeness but thrilling to know how our profession responded. This book provides the chance to, indeed, imagine spaces becoming wider, new paths emerging, and a set of achievements that mark a new era for music and its meaning in our lives. -- Peter R. Webster, Thornton School of Music, University of Southern CaliforniaMusic Education During Crisis is a testament to music educators' dedication to supporting students and the ability to adapt in the context of a global pandemic. The specific pedagogical and curricular approaches that authors share are valuable in and of themselves, yet it is the intimacy of witnessing our colleagues' journeys, challenges, and processes of transforming curriculum and practice that invites us to pause and reflect on possibilities in our own contexts. These stories of pivots in technology, community, and roles as learners and educators are not just lessons learned through finding ways of being and teaching during COVID-19 but catalysts to reconsider what music learning and teaching might be as we move now and in the future. -- Evan Tobias, Arizona State UniversityTable of ContentsList of FiguresForewordRandall Everett AllsupPrologueJudy Lewis and Andrea MaasAcknowledgmentsPart I: Flint Stones and Foundational FrameworksChapter One: Reflecting on Pandemic Teaching and TechnologyEmmett James O’LearyChapter Two: A Thriving Form of Communication: Understanding Chat Within an Online Discussion-based CourseSheelagh ChadwickChapter Three: Discovering Potential in a Pandemic: Performing, Responding, Connecting, and Creating in Instrumental Music TeachingJonathan G.

Peter Lang International Academic Publishers Modernitalia: Edited by Francesca Santovetti
Book SynopsisModernitalia provides a map of the Italian twentieth century in the form of twelve essays by the celebrated cultural historian Jeffrey T. Schnapp. Shuttling back and forth between literature, architecture, design, and the visual arts, the volume explores the metaphysics of speed, futurist and dada typography, real and imaginary forms of architecture, shifting regimes of mass spectacle, the iconography of labour, exhibitions as modes of public mobilization and persuasion, and the emergence of industrial models of literary culture and communication.The figures featured in the book include Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, Mario Morasso, Julius Evola, Piero Portaluppi, Giuseppe Terragni, Alessandro Blasetti, Massimo Bontempelli, Giorgio de Chirico, Bruno Munari, Curzio Malaparte, and Henry Furst. Alongside these human protagonists appear granite blocks that drive the design of modern monuments, military searchlights that animate civilian shows, worker armies viewed as machines, sunglasses that tiptoe along the boundary of the private and public, newsreels as twentieth-century interpretations of Trajan’s column, and book covers and bindings that act as authorial self-portraits. The volume captures the Italian path to cultural modernity in all of its brilliance and multiplicity.Table of ContentsContents: Why Speed is a Religion-Morality – Bad Dada – Piero Portaluppi’s Errant Line – The Monument Without Style – Border Crossings: Italian/German Peregrinations of the Theatre of Totality – Mostre – Notes on the Anatomy of the Worker – Shades (On a Premonitory Portrait by De Chirico) – Politics and Poetics in Marinetti’s Zang Tumb Tuuum – Bruno Munari’s Bombs – Suckert’s Sugar, Malaparte’s Mala Leche – The Translator (Henry Furst).

James Currey ALT 29 Teaching African Literature Today
Book SynopsisBrings together experiences of teachers of African literature from around the world in the context of technological change. Focuses on theoretical and pedagogical approaches to the teaching of African Literature on both sides of the Atlantic and beyond. The publication of Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart in 1958 drew universal attention not only to contemporary African creative imagination, but also established the art of the modern African novel. In 1986, Wole Soyinka became the first African to win the Nobel Prize for Literature, and opened the 'gate' for other African writers. By the close of the 20th century, African Literature had gained world-wide acceptance and legitimacy in the academy and featured on the literature curriculum of schools and colleges across the globe. This specialissue of African Literature Today, examines the diverse experiences of teachers of African Literature across regional, racial, cultural and national boundaries. It explores such issues as student responses, productive pedagogical innovations, the impact of modern technology, case studies of online teaching, teaching Criticism of African Literature, and teaching African Literature in an age of multiculturalism. It is intended as an invaluable teacher's handbook and essential student companion for the effective study of African Literature. Ernest Emenyonu is Professor of Africana Studies at the University of Michigan-Flint, USA; the editorial board is composed of scholars from US, UK and African universities Nigeria: HEBNTrade ReviewNot only does it continue to honor its pledge to be a forum for discovering new talents, but, with this latest issue, African Literature Today expands the territory of African literature by covering the subject of current instructional strategies. * RESEARCH IN AFRICAN LITERATURES *Table of ContentsEditorial Article: Half a Century of Teaching African Literature in the Academy - Ernest N.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Active Reading: Transformative Writing in
Book SynopsisThis book highlights the value of creative and re-creative transformational writing in learning and teaching and provides practical examples of its application.The subject of this book is the crossover between critical study and creative writing. 'Active reading' is a structured process of writing activities using imitation, variation and experimentation. Through practical composition techniques such as 'transformational writing', 're-writing' or 'translation', students can use writing activities to develop their critical imagination.This book bridges the gap between theories of learning and Literary studies in Higher Education. Setting the argument in an historical and theoretical context, it outlines the importance of writing as a medium of learning and argues for its usefulness in aiding English students' understanding of theoretical as well as literary and cultural texts.The authors provide a reflective account of teaching and assessment methods using writing activities and critical thinking techniques and the forms of learning they promote. In the last section, they explore the connections with other forms of writing practice in related disciplines and argue for the role of transformational writing in promoting independent learning.Appendices provide examples of the range of activities that can be used and an indicative list of literary examples.Trade Review"'This is an important book, valuable in the first instance not only to student teachers and NQTs but also to those teaching in HE who need convincing of the value of using transformative writing as a literary tool...The enthusiasm of both students and teachers comes across clearly. There is a wide variety of examples given not only of students' writing in response to specified passages and authors but also, and very revealingly, of the ways in which this writing was assessed...' Adrian Barlow, Newsletter of The English Association. '...a terrific addition to any English department. It describes a practical rather than theoretical route to understanding English literature. The writing is meticulous, thoroughly researched and trustworthy...This way of learning makes sense to me...In many ways, this is the bridge-building book...between creative writing and literature, between the elitism of the critics and the writing process and between all the other disciplines that could benefit from this approach. I would recommend it.' Rosie Garner, Lapidus Autumn 2007"Table of ContentsPreface; PART I: Pedagogic Context; 1. Contexts; 2. History and theory of a practice; 3.
