Art and Social Justice Education offersnbsp;inspiration and tools for educatorsnbsp;to craft critical, meaningful, and transformative arts education curriculum and arts integration projects. The images, descriptive texts, essays, and resources are grounded within a clear social justice framework and linked to ideas about culture as commons. Essays and a section written by and for teachers who have already incorporatednbsp;contemporary artistsnbsp;and ideas into their curriculums help readers to imagine ways to use the content in their own settings.nbsp;This book is enhanced by anbsp;Companion Website (www.routledge.com/cw/quinn) featuring artists and artworks, project examples, and dialogue threads for educators.

Proposing that art can contribute in a wide range of ways to the work of envisioning and making a more just world, this imaginative, practical, and engaging sourcebooknbsp;of contemporary artists'nbsp;works and education resources advances the field of arts education, locally, nationally, and internationally, by moving beyond models of discipline-based or expressive art education. It will be welcomed by all educators seeking to include the arts and social justice in their curricula.
