ARED 7310E

Critical Multicultural Studies in Art Education

Kallio-Tavin | CRN 68447

Nick Cave, Soundsuits, 2013

This course is designed to prepare students to formulate an understanding of art education as a cultural endeavor informed by issues of race, class, gender, and cultural marginalization in both historical and contemporary society.  Course readings and discussions begin more broadly with issues of equity, oppression, and multiculturalism in education before moving into the role of art and art education in relation to these issues. Past versions of multiculturalism are investigated through a critical lens, and current pedagogical, curricular, and artistic approaches are introduced.

During the course, students pursue critical investigations through readings, discussions, and activities that gradually build their knowledge with the ultimate goal of applying this knowledge through major projects in the later part of the course. Although art education in schools is a major emphasis, students are encouraged to pursue and expand course content as it applies to their interests in contexts such as community arts, museums, artistic practice, and social/cultural/political activism, etc.
