Arts Equity: A Praxis-Oriented Tale
Kraehe, Amelia M.
Studies in Art Education: A Journal of Issues and Research in Art Education, v58 n4 p267-278 2017
This article advances a multidimensional arts equity theory. It goes beyond simple equity narratives to address material, symbolic, and experiential dimensions of art education as social justice. In her expanded conceptualization of arts equity, the author identifies six guiding principles: distribution, access, participation, effects, recognition, and transformation. Inspired by critical race methodology, the theoretical discussion centers on a familiar teaching tale. This reflexive experiment with form aims to humanize arts equity theory while bringing meaning to the everyday ethical quandaries and sociopolitical ambiguities that all art educators face.
