- Professional Statement
I've been active in arts education advocacy and research in the U.S. for two decades. I'm currently leading the first national research project on teaching artists, the Teaching Artist Research Project. (http://teachingartists.uchicago.edu) In the US, teaching artists have been part of the political landscape for a century -- since they first ran arts programs for immigrants at the Settlements -- but they have never been more important. With the new Obama administration there appears to be a serious opportunity to expand resources and supports for arts education and teaching artists, making the study especially timely.
