Perhaps one of the most prolific apologists of the liberal professorate has been professor of sociology Neil Gross at the University of British Columbia. Gross attributes the abundance of liberal professors…

"Philosophy Because the World Matters" promotes a valorization of philosophy as a practice able to activate an individual's relationship making to "having a life" and, in turn, to allow the unfolding self-illumination (qua onto-ethical capacity) to effect a constructive world-thinking and hence world-building with others.

Posing the question, "What does it mean to care?" this visual work came about through a collaboration between teachers, children, and a local artist to render experiences of care from children's daily lives within an early years laboratory school. Working from a perspective of material-discursive intra-activity (Barad, 2003, 2007), this…

Evolutions within the field of historiography have been followed closely by historians of art education, and in recent years, a shift to arts-based constructions of history has radically redefined art education history.

Within a span of a few months, however, programs were canceled, the staff of 40 was given notice, and their office and gallery spaces were reassigned. The evidence suggests that MoMA's staff fractured along class…
