Educational Resources

The following compilation of partially annotated resources, in conjunction with OAEA’s new Working Equity Policy, will inform and fortify visual arts and media arts curriculum, instruction, and assessment practices, as teachers ensure that expectations of equity, diversity, and inclusion define their classrooms. (Quoted text Appears in green.)

We recognize that these resources will assist teachers, and their efficacy may depend on the range and depth of equity, diversity, and inclusion experiences possed by the individual. While these resources are valuable in themselves, OAEA endorses the significance of ongoing professional learning, community dialogue, and consulting with those from marginalized cultural groups in order to better understand the lived experiences and unique identities of these individuals or groups and the social justice they deserve.

These resources have been organized under headings of social justice studies and types of oppression. While these headings are not exhaustive, they have been provided for ease of use. Publications, both analog and digital, and internet resources have been grouped together. While most titles specifically pertain to visual art | media art education, others of a more general nature have been included.
