{"product_id":"9781789387346","title":"Community Arts Education","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.","brand":"Ching-Chiu Lin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47688001126718,"sku":"9781789387346","price":0.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9781789387346_6f49d9ec-72e7-4b67-ac66-ac507eeb705a.jpg?v=1707626412","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9781789387346","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
