Studies in Art Education is the National Art Education Association’s quarterly journal of research and issues. Articles and commentaries published in Studies not only address traditional forms of research in visual arts education—qualitative, historical, philosophical, and quantitative research—but also explore possibilities for change, reconsidering existing knowledge, raising new questions, and posing new ways of understanding the nature of the field. Authors published in Studies examine topics such as diversity and justice, the nature of lived experiences, questions of learning and how we understand the world, the changing ideas of art and of art education, visual culture, critical theory, child culture, human development, curriculum, pedagogy, assessment, and much more. Studies is published quarterly in print and digital formats in February, May, August, and November.

Call for Submissions

This special issue of Studies in Art Education explores art education research and practices that engage with human lives beyond human centrality and invites art educators to engage with human experiences that are entangled with, or confronted by, nonhuman and more-than-human ecologies. This includes, but is not limited to, ecological systems, environmental matters, and human relationships with nonhuman beings. These engagements may be pedagogical, artistic, and interdisciplinary practices of inquiry in the context of art education.

Submission Deadline: January 20, 2026
