Call for Proposals MIAHE 2020
Mapping International Histories of Art Education Conference is intended to provide a forum for the presentation and discussion of ideas, issues, information, and research approaches utilized within the historical investigation art education in the international context. The organizers of the conference seek paper proposals that center on major historical events as well as overlooked people and episodes/issues within the national and international terrain of art education, including but not limited to K-12 public and private schooling, museums and community-based art education and higher education.

Historical research over the past 5O years in art education has primarily focused on Anglo-European and North American contexts.

What alternate questions might be raised through new interpretations of International histories of art and design education that could forge new connections and alignments for global art education in the 21st century?
What actions are needed to actively include diverse geographic and linguistic participation we increase the possibility of generating a more robust discourse in the field of art education?
How can we foster and amplify the long-marginalized histories that have the potential for transforming the field of art education?
How do we generate new interpretations of international histories of art and design education to create diverse connections and ways of knowing for global art education in the 21st century?
How meaning is produced in historical research and representations locally and globally?
