Toward a New Aesthetics : Institutional Criticism in Art Education from 1900 to Today /
:
Has art education lost its critical edge? Is art becoming just another form of intellectual labor? Toward a New Aesthetics argues that the increasing "scientification" of art is directly linked to a decline in institutional self-critique. This study offers the first comprehensive examination of institutional critique within art schools. Through contributions from leading art historians, critics, educators, and artists, readers will trace a century of critical engagement, from radical challenge and transformative beginnings to today's institutional affirmation. Exploring international case studies, the book reveals how the rise of artistic research has profoundly impacted art's critical potential within the global knowledge economy. Contributors are: Bernard Akoi-Jackson, Katherine Bruhn, Benjamin Buchloh, Emily Ruth Capper, Nicola Foster, Tom Holert, Erika Kindsfather, Sooyoung Leam, Sandra Neugärtner, Isabel Nogueira, Noa Sadka, Jeffrey Saletnik, Christine-Marie Schoel, Rebecca Sprowl and Jack Watts.

Disruption and Convergence : Generating New Conversations through Arts Research /
:
Conceptualized as a tool to expand creativity, questioning, and experimentation in arts research, Disruption and Convergences: Generating New Conversations through Arts Research offers timely narratives, musings, and descriptions of experimental and scholarly practice that ignite new creative considerations for graduate students and aspiring arts research practitioners. The book features a collection of practice-based research projects for which the experiential unfolding leads to unexpected outcomes. In its openness and generativity, this mode of questioning removes the need for conclusive findings. Prominent threads that emerged from the collection encompass collaboration and interconnectedness, disputed and shared spaces, and transformation through storytelling. Contributors to the book address ways of knowing that complicate familiar categories, learning with and listening to the fragile, the provisional, and heralding unthought futurity. Disruption and Convergences offers a scholarly and artistic exchange through dialogues between contributors and invites artful and multisensorial expressions, imaginative experimentations, poetic and critical propositions that carry the voices of creators at different stages in their research careers. This form of publication is itself an international symposium of sorts, and therefore an opportunity for readers to engage in wide-ranging approaches to making, writing, and arts thinking.

Of Emoji and Semioliteracy : Reading, Writing, and Texting in the Literacy Instruction Classroom /
:
In service to their unique demographic of learners, developmental reading and writing instructors must steadfastly teach basic literacy skills to a diverse student population with varying degrees of literacy proficiency. Even more dauntingly, educators are tasked with procuring andragogically-and-pedagogically appropriate teaching tools - those that meet the needs of the individual student while being accessible and relatable to this adult learner demographic. Of Emoji and Semioliteracy: Reading, Writing, and Texting in the Literacy Instruction Classroom proposes emoji as one such viable literacy and postsecondary writing teaching tool. Drawing from a mixed-methods study, this work chronicles a Texas community college integrated reading and writing project in which students attempt to demonstrate mastery of State-mandated literacy content areas using both traditional writing and emoji. By postulating emoji as a semioliteracy-based instructional tool, this work also explores emoji's wider implications on teaching reading and writing within the developmental, First-Year Writing, postsecondary, and literacy instruction classes across all levels and disciplines.

How can we enable and encourage new teachers to realize their potential at the beginning of their professional careers? This book examines teacher induction practices across Europe and offers a new perspective on how new teachers learn, grow, and develop into autonomous professionals.

This book is essential reading for anyone committed to nurturing the potential of the next generation of teachers to their full potential.

Education in Greek and Roman antiquity /
:
This volume examines the idea of ancient education in a series of essays which span the archaic period to late antiquity. It calls into question the idea that education in antiquity is a disinterested process, arguing that teaching and learning were activities that occurred in the context of society. Education in Greek and Roman Antiquity brings together the scholarship of fourteen classicists who from their distinctive perspectives pluralize our understanding of what it meant to teach and learn in antiquity. These scholars together show that ancient education was a process of socialization that occurred through a variety of discourses and activities including poetry, rhetoric, law, philosophy, art and religion.
