A Feminist Analysis of Empowerment and Community in Art Education.
Hicks, Laurie E.
Studies in Art Education, v32 n1 p36-46 Fall 1990
Examines empowerment as an art education goal from a feminist perspective. Challenges Elliot Eisner's cultural capital theory, arguing that it disempowers students by homogenizing culture. Identifies three goals by which a feminist conception of art education celebrates cultural diversity and empowers students with personal autonomy and critical thinking skills. (KM)
