“This volume’s multivocal approach to the history of art education is exactly what is needed in this moment, when remembering and working with the past is necessary for creating educational opportunities that are socially just, culturally responsible, and necessary to supporting democratic citizenship. By focusing on case examples, contributors to this volume reveal the social, cultural, and political complexities associated with art and education, while simultaneously modeling effective practices in historical research. This book is required reading for all those working to advance an art education that is responsive and responsible to the field’s history and future.”―Doug Blandy, professor, University of Oregon
