Teacher As Artist-in-Residence
What if there was a way of thinking about our own teachings an art practice, and what if our teaching-as-art-practice was the most radical form of expression to ever exist? This book presents an argument for this possibility in two forms: First through a lecture about the latent expertise of everydayness, the overlap of conceptual art and teaching, and the materiality of invisibility. Then, 33 teachers from DC, Virginia, and Maryland came together to write 120 pages in 90 minutes. In those pages the reader is treated to multiple lifetimes' worth of sage advice, scholarly and pedagogical inspiration, and conceptualizations for a teaching practice that is simultaneously an art work.
Disney, Culture, and Curriculum
A presence for decades in individuals’ everyday life practices and identity formation, the Walt Disney Company has more recently also become an influential element within the "big" curriculum of public and private spaces outside of yet in proximity to formal educational institutions. Disney, Culture, and Curriculum explores the myriad ways that Disney’s curricula and pedagogies manifest in public consciousness, cultural discourses, and the education system. Examining Disney’s historical development and contemporary manifestations, this book critiques and deconstructs its products and perspectives while providing insight into Disney’s operations within popular culture and everyday lif...
Paranoid Pedagogies
This edited book explores the under-analyzed significance and function of paranoia as a psychological habitus of the contemporary educational and social moment. The editors and contributors argue that the desire for epistemological truth beyond uncertainty characteristic of paranoia continues to profoundly shape the aesthetic texture and imaginaries of educational thought and practice. Attending to the psychoanalytic, post-psychoanalytic, and critical significance of paranoia as a mode of engaging with the world, this book further inquires into the ways in which paranoia functions to shape the social order and the material desire of subjects operating within it. Furthermore, the book aims to understand how the paranoiac imaginary endemic to contemporary educational thought manifests itself throughout the social field and what issues it makes manifest for teachers, teacher educators, and academics working toward social transformation.
Experiments in Art Research
Experiments in Art Research: How Do We Live Questions Through Art? is not a conventional research methods guide; it's an encounter for asking questions through art. Originating from the work of a community of tightly connected scholars, artists, and teachers, the book unfolds through a tapestry of moments, practices, and people, embracing the celebration of works in progress and in community. Rooted in the practice of permission-giving, the narrative intertwines personal stories—laying bare the transformative power of unconventional teaching methods, risky endeavors, and the breaking of scholarly norms—and begins by understanding that “art” and “research” are not separate. After ...

Teaching Contemporary Art with Young People
This full-color resource will help educators teach about current art and integrate its philosophy and methods into the K-12 classroom. The authors provide a framework that looks at art through the lens of nine themes--everyday life, work, power, earth, space and place, self and others, change and time, inheritance, and visual culture--highlighting the conceptual aspects of art and connecting disparate forms of expression. They also provide guidelines and examples for how to use contemporary art to change the dynamics of a classroom, apply inventive non-linear lenses to topics, broaden and update the art "canon," and spur creative and critical thinking. Young people will find the selected art...

Relational Encounters with Folk School Pedagogies
This book explores folk school pedagogies through craft as creative inquiry. Using a study at and inspired by The Clearing Folk School, a continuing education institution located at the northern tip of the Door County Peninsula, Wisconsin, United States, it explores the crafting of teaching practices from learners, educators, researchers, artists, animals, land, plants, and sky. The author shows how such practices function as an antidote to contemporary anthropocentric, environmental, and political crises. Contributing to conversations in posthuman ethics, it engages folk school pedagogies between humans and more-than-humans through thinking, writing, folding, interviewing, collaging, and jo...
Recent Advances in Nonlinear Speech Processing
This book presents recent advances in nonlinear speech processing beyond nonlinear techniques. It shows that it exploits heuristic and psychological models of human interaction in order to succeed in the implementations of socially believable VUIs and applications for human health and psychological support. The book takes into account the multifunctional role of speech and what is “outside of the box” (see Björn Schuller’s foreword). To this aim, the book is organized in 6 sections, each collecting a small number of short chapters reporting advances “inside” and “outside” themes related to nonlinear speech research. The themes emphasize theoretical and practical issues for mod...
