This accessible and compelling collection of faculty reflections
examines the tensions between the arts and academics and offers
interdisciplinary alternatives for higher education. With an eye to
teacher training, these artist scholars share insights, models, and
personal experience that will engage and inspire educators in a
range of post-secondary settings. The authors represent a variety
of art forms, perspectives, and purposes for arts inclusive
learning ranging from studio work to classroom teaching to urban
settings in which the subject is equity and social justice. From
the struggles of an arts concentrator at an Ivy League college to
the challenge of reconciling the dual identities as artists and
arts educators, the issues at hand are candid and compelling. The
examples of discourse ranging from the broad stage of arts advocacy
to an individual course or program give testimony to the power and
promise of the arts in higher education.
