Call for Proposals MIAHE 2020

| Dana

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. Paper proposals that focus on historical research methods, cultural contexts, individuals, institutions, and events within and related to local and global art education are encouraged. A post-conference website and publication of the conference proceedings will be developed where copies of papers as well as a selected bibliography of historical research resources will be made available to the conference attendees.

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

Mapping International Art Education Histories conference seeks to highlight these varied voices of research and scholarship to address the following questions (but not limited to):

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?

Assemblage Entry form

Assemblage has two distinct definitions: the first refers to three-dimensional works of art comprised of natural, found, and ready-made objects that are permanently attached to a foundation. The second is a theoretical understanding of the ways in which we as knowers, creators, and producers become entangled and are continually rearranged—or assembled— in relationship to one another.

Assemblage serves as a metaphor for the myriad forms of creative work that emerge from members of our transdisciplinary academic department. The arts serve as the foundation of our work, the underpinnings on which we build creative lives as artists, educators, makers, scholars, and cultural workers. Our collective work in those realms overlaps, propels, and evokes continual movement for our colleagues, our students, and our world. The works of visual art in this exhibition are reflections of the rich trajectories of the students, alumni, and faculty of AAEP @ OSU.

This exhibition is curated by Dana Carlisle Kletchka, assistant professor of art museum education in AAEP, and presented by the talented staff of the Urban Arts Space, a gallery and reciprocal learning space for students, faculty, and staff of The Ohio State University as well as the Columbus, OH community.

A Reader’s Guide to Social Practice

| Dana

“If you think about how grand the concept/movement/idea of Art & Social Practice really is, it can be quite overwhelming. What started out as a grass-roots movement has also begun to infiltrate academia, creating even more ways in which people are thinking, researching and writing about the topic. With that in mind, I decided to create a reading list of 50 hand-selected titles that form a cohesive and well-rounded collection designed to reach a wide audience and aimed to define and understand the multifaceted field Broken City Lab’s engaged with.

During the selection process of this bibliography, I tracked down and read several published reviews and customer reviews from a variety of sources, and ensured that each title provided the collection with a different perspective or filled a necessary gap. For academic texts, I also tracked citations in order to determine their relevancy within the field. Therefore, whether you’re an artist, an academic, an educator, or just someone who is generally interested in learning what the heck Art & Social Practice is, you’ll be able to find a title or two to get your thinking started.”

Opioid Innovation Fund

| Dana

Opioid Innovation Fund

The Autumn 2017 Opioid Innovation Fund (OIF) grants are to encourage faculty, staff and students, and, if appropriate, their respective public/private sector community partners to submit proposals with the objective of reducing the burden of the opioid crisis in Ohio. We are seeking to fund proposals that will run the gamut from innovative new approaches in technology to implementation of evidence-based strategies in the community.

 LEVERAGING PARTNERSHIPS

This program is designed to bring together multiple, available resources and leverage existing partnerships (private and public) to develop programs/initiatives that will achieve measurable, positive impacts to reduce the burden of the opioid crisis.  Partnerships within Ohio State could also include regional campuses or Extension offices that offer proximity to many of the Ohio counties most affected by the opioid crisis. Where appropriate, partnerships are encouraged with community organizations such as local faith-based groups and non-profits, as well as local governmental agencies, libraries and businesses.  It is critical that projects dependent on community engagement have effective and sustainable partnerships in the community.

Undergraduates and Ageism

| Dana

“Education at its best rescues us from ignorance and bias. Many of the nation’s 17 million undergraduates study racism, sexism, homophobia, ethnic and religious hostility, and other types of prejudice. Now more and more faculty members, reasoning that we are not just gendered and racialized by culture but also assaulted by age discrimination, are including the study of age and ageism.”
