InSEA/USSEA Regional Conference: Education through Art: Teaching for Global Understanding & Engagement
With support from Center for the Study of Global Change at Indiana University, Art Education Association of Indiana (AEAI), Indianapolis, Indiana, Crowne Plaza Union Station, June 23-26, 2012. The deadline has been extended to January 1, 2012. In an increasingly globalized world, citizens will need to have multi-cultural, multi-disciplinary, and interdisciplinary understandings in order to solve complex, world-impacting problems. Culturally-focused curricula have long been features of the social sciences and the arts. Because the arts may be understood as expressions of world-views, the arts naturally embrace teaching about global cultures. Images can convey ideas wordlessly across cultural differences and language barriers, and be seamlessly integrated across disciplines and subject areas. For this reason, the 2012 USSEA Regional Conference will focus on how Education through Art helps in Teaching for Global Understanding and Engagement.
