Feminist Art Education Archival Research

Feminist Art Education Archival Research: C.H.U.T.N.E.Y. Power explores the National Art Education Association's (NAEA) Women's Caucus' histories of trailblazing feminist art education research, leadership, and policy activism. From archival research, specifically delving into the NAEA Women's Caucus Archive at The Pennsylvania State University, this led to interviews with feminist activists in art education. The book draws attention to the activism of the NAEA Women's Caucus contextualized within tenets of critical race feminism, which calls for organizational accountability from critical examination of hegemonic structures and practices that privilege white patriarchal colonialism and serves as a structure to deconstruct, interrogate, disrupt, and reimagine inequities that exist in art education, and all of education. Feminist Art Education Archival Research: C.H.U.T.N.E.Y. Power is a unique text ideal for feminist organizations, gender studies research, and art educators at all levels of teaching from preK to higher education, and is an ideal companion text for post-secondary art education, women's studies, leadership, and other related areas.
