Drawing upon the concept of \"transversality\" as a guiding theoretical framework and methodological structure, the book brings together a diverse group of contributors, including community professionals, scholars, artists, educators, and activists from sixteen countries. Through a series of studies and practical cases, these contributors delve into the intricate complexities of community arts education at various levels.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese complexities encompass a wide range of challenges, including the impact of globalizing phenomena such as the COVID-19 pandemic, ongoing efforts to promote justice for Indigenous peoples, the ongoing movement of immigrants and refugees, the growing recognition of issues related to equity, diversity, and inclusion in the workplace, and the increasing influence of grassroots movements and organizations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo organize these diverse perspectives, the book is structured into four thematic clusters: Connections, Practices, Spaces, and Relations. These clusters serve as a map for navigating the intersecting assemblages of transversality that shape community arts education. By adopting a transversal lens, the book challenges traditional notions of knowledge as a passive construct and reimagines art education as a unique practice that emerges from the complex relationships that form within communities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough its rich and diverse content, this edited collection provides valuable insights into the role of community arts education in fostering social cohesion, promoting cultural understanding, and empowering individuals and communities. It serves as a testament to the power of art as a catalyst for change and a means of building stronger, more inclusive societies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 624g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 171 x 245 x 21 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781789387469\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44520412446970,"sku":"9781789387469","price":27.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1692975926061_book.jpg?v=1693031292","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/community-arts-education-transversal-global-perspectives-9781789387469","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
