In a globalized world, we face intense and pressing issues such as ethical, educational, humanitarian, economic, and sociopolitical conflicts. Art and visual culture fields have addressed these global concerns by both actively creating art and media projects and collaborating among groups of people on the planet with creative connection and networking, highlighting the power of art expressions, design, and creativity in order to achieve democracy, equality, and social justice. Educators in schools, museums, and other community settings also expand ways of teaching curricular content beyond local and regional issues to engage students in global civic projects as future democratic citizens. In this book, the contributors will discuss the power and resilence of contemporary art, new media, and social media and networking in various educational settings, either formal or informal, both addressing art’s critical role and impact on the mind of the next generation and citizens and sharing exemplary art-based global civic engagement projects.
The book aims to recognize and celebrate the empowering efforts and creative projects of researchers and educators who envision the critical role of global participatory learning and its impact on the mind of the next generation and citizens. Some of questions this book addresses are as follows:
- How can we conceptualize and theorize emerging global civic learning and engagement?
- How are art and new media forms created and involved in global civic engagement?
- How can art and new media effectively address global issues and concerns?
- In what ways are museum and community-based organizations involved with globalization and civic engagement?
- In what ways does social media and networking facilitate social justice, diversity, and student empowerment?
- How can students and community groups be involved with global civic learning?
- How can we address global civic learning and engagement in the classroom, museums, and other educational settings?
