Art Education Journal Special Issue:
Color of Change II: Teaching in Tumultuous Times

We live in a time of great change with authoritarianism and populism on the rise globally. Yet in these distressing times, there is a wellspring of alternative grassroots organizing that is increasingly led by youth. Both these movements—populism and grassroots activism—force us to question what we mean by social and institutional change. There is, however, a tension between the tools of authoritarianism and the promise of education to bring about change. Click here for call details.

Submission deadline: May 10, 2022
