CALL FOR PROPOSALS

A Special Issue of the Harvard Educational Review

• The lens of emerging arts mediums/disciplines—that considers how new and emerging arts mediums/disciplines (e.g.: digital art, media art, Hip Hop, film, video, digital animation, etc.), which may have long histories themselves, are just now beginning to extend the boundaries of the traditional arts education cannon;
• The lens of traditional arts mediums/disciplines—that considers how traditional arts mediums/disciplines (e.g.: visual art, music, theatre, dance, and creative writing) can be applied in educational settings to directly address the needs of 21st century young people and adults;
• The lens of web 2.0—that considers the relationship between arts education and open-source technology, gaming, social networking sites, and other aspects of online culture that influence student learning and youth development;
• The lenses of mind-brain-education and Universal Design for Learning—that consider the arts as a vehicle uniquely capable of facilitating the cognitive and social development of learners whose individual differences are inadequately capitalized upon in traditional curriculum, and whose neurophysiology is evolving alongside the expansion of digital technology;
• The lens of globalization—that considers how arts education can be employed to create dialogue in our increasingly more diversified, cross-cultural, and politicized world;
• The lens of community empowerment and cultural organizing—that considers how arts education may be employed in a world challenged by unprecedented population growth, barriers to social mobility, and unequal distributions of power and wealth.
