Inclusion and Intersectionality in Visual Arts Education

Overview & Synopsis

From within the frame of visual arts education, this collection examines differing and overlapping identities found in higher education. The authors explore expanding relationships of identity-based thinking. They show through their research and work how inclusion debates on race, gender, class and access are extended by adopting intersectional theory. The case studies drawn from visual arts education are applicable to wider education settings and will interest higher education theorists and equality and diversity specialists as well as arts practitioners, gallery educators and the informal arts education sector.
