Women’s Caucus Interviews for the Enacting Change Member Survey
Interviews with members of the NAEA Women’s Caucus demonstrate the variety of contributions to art education fostered through leadership, research, and pedagogy. Stage one of a new WC project initiated by Joanna Rees assembles a wide view of perspectives and relates perspectives to members’ personal goals (click on the names below for individual responses to the surveys). Those personal goals (aggregated as experiences, aspirations, cultural considerations, and shared and individual notions of identity as art educators) can inform ways to treat all art educators in fair and equitable ways. Current, previous, and future members are invited to continue from the interviews into a dialogue on enacting change. We are working toward developing an action plan to form a collective identity for socio-political mobilization of WC activism that began at NAEA WC Lobby Sessions in New Orleans in 2008, and Minneapolis in 2009.
