Research Focus

Christina’s primary research is situated within the context of early career art teaching, especially as understood through arts-based methodologies and poststructural and posthuman theories. Through this work, she both interrogates and intervenes in the complex network of relations that exists at the intersections of art education and the current climate of public education in the US, which is significantly impacted by practices of accountability and compliance. Through on-going work with early career art teachers, Christina aims to locate spaces of possibility where art teaching, mentoring, and professional learning can be imagined and practiced anew. In addition to her work with early career teachers, Christina pursues historical research of women art educators in the US. 

Christina is an Associate Editor for the International Journal of Education and the Arts and an Advisor for the NAEA Teacher Recruitment and Retention Task Force. She has published in journals such as Studies in Art Education, Visual Arts Research, and The Journal of Social Theory in Art Education.

Research Interests:
Early career art teachers, mentoring, professional learning, audit culture and accountability practices in education, women art educators (past and present), arts-based research (especially as theorized through collage/assemblage), post-qualitative research, poststructural and post-human theories.

Education:
BS in Art Education, Pennsylvania State University
MA in Art Education, Maryland Institute College of Art
PhD in Art Education (minor in Curriculum and Instruction), Pennsylvania State University 

Recent Book:
Hanawalt, C. & Hofsess, B.A. (2023). Reconceptualizing Early Career Teacher Mentoring as Reggio-Inspired: Insights from Collaborative Research with Art Teachers. Routledge.
