Expanding on a groundbreaking framework, this revised edition connects activist art education with current campaigns for social justice.

Originally published as a special issue of the International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education, this volume explores how researchers, educators, artists, and scholars can collaborate with, and engage young people in art, creative practice, and research to work towards social justice and political engagement.

Describes how educators can practice connecting with others across differences to become culturally responsive teachers. The book illustrates how educators can draw on the visual arts to explore their own identities and those of their students, and how to increase their understanding of how lives intersect across sociocultural differences.

This book examines the role that art plays in addressing social injustice inside and outside the classroom. The framework, called social justice art, is thoroughly explored and provides teachers with practical strategies for activist arts pedagogy.
