  • Thematic Issue on Death

    2023-09-29

    Research in Arts and Education Thematic issue on Death is now published. 

    Guest Editor: Helena Sederholm

    In this thematic issue, we have a compilation of articles, visual essays, and a commentary dealing with death from diverse viewpoints. In many texts, posthuman and more-than-human-aspect, that is, the relation to other species, has been emphasized. Nevertheless, it is impossible to avoid the perspective of humans, especially when dealing with art, philosophy, and education.

  • (CLOSED) Call for Papers: Posthuman Arts Education

    2023-06-14

    Guest Editors: Henrika Ylirisku (University of Helsinki), Tomi Slotte Dufva (Aalto University) & Mikko Snellman (University of Turku)

    This thematic issue of Research in Arts and Education explores the intersections of posthuman theories and arts education. Over the past decade post-humanist and post-anthropocentric approaches have gained ground in art education research and paved the way for rethinking (arts) education, artistic practices, everyday life, ethics, as well as the human relationality with the world – Garoian (2012), jagodzinski (2013), Hickey-Moody & Page (2015), and Trafí-Prats (2017) being among the first ones. In the age of the environmental crises, the communal and societal meanings and roles of all fields of arts and their education are changing, and thus require constant re-orientation.

    Research in Arts and Education welcomes manuscripts for this thematic issue to be published in June 2024.

  • (CLOSED) Call for Papers: Thematic issue on inclusion and equality through arts and art education

    2023-01-18

    Guest Editors: Maria Huhmarniemi & Mirja Hiltunen, University of Lapland

    Research in Arts and Education welcomes manuscripts for a thematic issue to be published in November 2023.

    Several contemporary concepts and educational theories highlight the transformational and inclusive power of art and culture. Art and art education contribute to social inclusion and well-being of communities and enhance community development, reduced social isolation, and active citizenship. Designing and implementing educational activities that raise aesthetic, ethical, and political issues can foster public dialogue both in local and global contexts.
