Activist Art in Social Justice Pedagogy: Engaging Students in Glocal Issues Through the Arts

Education scholars, teachers, and artists explain a number of models for integrating the arts in K-16 teaching for social justice. They describe successful activist artist movements that are contributing to social change in the US and elsewhere, share the knowledge gained from them, and document how they have changed both participants and social contexts. Among the topics are learning about the farmworkers and the landless rural workers movement through the arts, enlivening the curriculum through imagination, art class at the Onondaga nation School, and the art of growing food.
