{"product_id":"9781789387469","title":"Community Arts Education : Transversal Global Perspectives by Anita Sinner","description":"This edited collection offers global perspectives on the transverse, boundary-blurring possibilities of community arts education.   Invoking `transversality' as an overarching theoretical framework and a methodological structure, 55 contributors - community professionals, scholars, artists, educators and activists from sixteen countries - offer studies and practical cases exploring the complexities of community arts education at all levels.   Such complexities include challenges created by globalizing phenomena such as the COVID-19 pandemic; ongoing efforts to achieve justice for Indigenous peoples; continuing movement of immigrants and refugees; growing recognition of issues related to equity, diversity and inclusion in the workplace; and the increasing impact of grassroot movements and organizations.   Chapters are grouped into four thematic clusters - Connections, Practices, Spaces and Relations - that map these and other intersecting assemblages of transversality. Thinking transversally about community art education not only shifts our understanding of knowledge from a passive construct to an active component of social life but redefines art education as a distinctive practice emerging from the complex relationships that form community.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56305640276341,"sku":"9781789387469","price":29.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781789387469.jpg?v=1762798057","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781789387469","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
