Arts educators have adopted social justice themes as part of a
larger vision of transforming society. Social justice arts
education confronts oppression and inequality arising from factors
related to race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, class, ability,
gender, and sexuality. This edition of Common Threads investigates
the intersection of social justice work with education in the
visual arts, music, theatre, dance, and literature. Weaving
together resources from a range of University of Illinois Press
journals, the editors offer articles on the scholarly inquiry,
theory, and practice of social justice arts education. Selections
from the past three decades reflect the synergy of the diverse
scholars, educators, and artists actively engaged in such projects.
Together, the contributors bring awareness to the importance of
critically reflective and inclusive pedagogy in arts educational
contexts. They also provide pedagogical theory and practical tools
for building a social justice orientation through the arts.
Contributors: Joni Boyd Acuff, Seema Bahl, Elizabeth Delacruz,
