This monograph is the outgrowth of a conference that explored research concerns related to multi-cultural and cross-cultural contexts in art education. In the monograph, presentations are organized into three sections. Section 1 deals with basic research methods and methodologies, and introduces new methodological perspectives for consideration. Section 2 discusses qualitative methods of research and how to conduct such research in multicultural and cross-cultural settings. Section 3 deals with authentic research issues of assessment and how this determines what is appropriate in multi-cultural and cross-cultural contexts. The final section relates everything to a panel discussion that finalized a series of events which preceded the conference opening (January 6, 2000). Chapter titles include: (1) "Finding Common Ground for Research Methods and Methodologies from an Artistic Perspective" (Sharon D. La Pierre); (2) "Before Choosing a Research Method" (Peter Smith); (3) "An Ecological Approach to Art Education Research for Diverse Populations" (Bernard Young); (4) "Nutrition, Flavor and Aesthetic Appeal: The Process of Preparing and Publishing Research Data" (Elizabeth J. Garber); (5) "The Art of Culture Crossing" (Mary Stokrocki); (6) "Appalachia: a Narrative Study of Preserving a Subculture" (Tom Barone); (7) "Ethnographic Discoveries from an Intergenerational Visual Arts Program in New York City's Harlem" (Angela M. La Porte); (8) "Assessment Methods for Students from Diverse Populations" (Theresa Marche; Enid Zimmerman); and (9) "Panel Discussion on International Research Issues and Concerns: Format and Problem Scenarios" (Sharon D.

“Educational trends will change and research agendas will shift, but art teachers in public institutions will still need to educate all students for multicultural purposes,” argues Chalmers in this fifth volume in the Occasional Papers series. Chalmers describes how art education programs promote cross-cultural understanding, recognize racial and cultural diversity, enhance self-esteem in students’ cultural heritage, and address issues of ethnocentrism, stereotyping, discrimination, and racism. After providing the context for multicultural art education, Chalmers examines the implications for art education of the broad themes found in art across cultures. Using discipline-based art education as a framework, he suggests ways to design and implement a curriculum for multicultural art education that will help students find a place for art in their lives. Art educators will find Celebrating Pluralism invaluable in negotiating the approach to multicultural art education that makes the most sense to their students and their communities.

Multiculturalism is a term that has been much used in educational texts in recent years. Its usage is frequently taken for granted in the rhetoric of curriculum literature. However, it has recently become clear that there are significant variations of interpretations of multiculturalism in different world regions. This book takes a new and deeper look at the notion of multiculturalism through the lens of art education. In educational terms art is a unique tool for the investigation of cultural values because it transcends the barrier of language and provides visceral and tacit insights into cultural change. In order to address the educational interpretations and methods of implementing multiculturalism in different regios of the world, this book contains discussion and analysis of perspectives on art education theory and practice from thirteen countries. The authors of each chapter are respected multicultural experts in their geographic locations who are well equipped to provide unique insights into the particular issues of multiculturalism viewed from the perspective of art in educational contexts. The book as a whole provides tools for the conceptual analysis of contemporary notions linked with multiculturalism, such as interculturalism, internationalism and globalisation. It also provides strategies for art teaching in relation to these ideas. While the term 'multicultural education' is problematic, this book presents conceptual frameworks that should assist educators to examine their own teaching on issues of equity and diversity that are central to the multicultural education debate. ©́

Intercultural Arts Therapies Research: Issues and methodologies is the first overarching study on intercultural practice and research models in the arts therapies. It provides a new departure from traditional arts therapies education and research in that it focuses on research studies only. Written by international experts in the field, the book offers a selection of diverse research undertaken within four arts therapies modalities: art, dance, drama and music. Drawing on methodologies such as ethnography, phenomenology and case study research, chapters focus on cultural identity, the transposition of cultural practices to a different context, and the implications of different languages for arts therapies and disability culture. With reference to primary research, it aims to help practitioners and students to develop further research, by making the mechanics of the research process explicit and transparent. Intercultural Arts Therapies Research will appeal to arts therapists, psychological therapy practitioners, postgraduate students and other health and social care professionals. It will also be of interest to students, artists, teachers, social workers and those working for international aid agencies.
