SPECIAL CALL FOR PAPERS: INDIGENOUS PERSPECTIVES AND ART EDUCATION/RESEARCH/PRACTICE

In this special issue, the editorial team will be joined by the CSEA/SCÉA’s Director of Indigenous Culture, Heather Von Steinhagen, Artist, Art Educator, Arts Administrator, and member of Cowessess First Nations, to explore issues related to Indigenous perspectives with art education/practice/research. We are excited to invite authors/artists/researchers to submit work in English, French, or Indigenous languages (accompanied by an English or French translation). Forms of work could include visual essays; lived experiences of Indigenous researchers or artists and their art in relation to art education; writings on behalf of elders and knowledge keepers; or other research or issues of interest and benefit to Canadian art educators. In submitting work for review, we invite you to respond to these prompts and questions as guidance:

1. How might research in art education decolonize research practices?
2. How might research in art education be centered in and through Indigenous knowledges and practices?
3. How might art education research respond to calls to disrupt settler practices?
4. How might Indigenous ways of knowing impact artistic research?
5. How have art teachers approached curricular and pedagogical choices as centering Indigenous lenses?
6. How might Indigenous research methodologies impact arts based, a/r/tographical, artistic research?
7. How might art education research center Indigenous voices?
8. In what ways are Indigenous scholars/researchers/communities drawing on artistic practice in their research?
