Dr. Donalyn Heise and Dr. Bryna Bobick, Art Education, will be part of a panel presenting
their research at the American Educational Research Association annual conference
in Vancouver BC April 2012.
Their research is published as a chapter in the book, Transforming City Schools Through
Art: Approaches to Meaningful K12 Learning co-edited by Karen Hutzel, Flavia Bastos
and Kim Cosier. This anthology articulates a vision of celebrating and capitalizing
on educational, cultural, community and artistic possibilities of the city. We are
committed to overturn the usual talk of urban education in a deficit model, but rather
focus on the strengths or assets of a community.
On March 1, 2012 Dr. Donalyn Heise's research on Teaching Art To Children In Crisis
was presented at the National Art Education Association Convention in New York.

In these self portraits, Emanuel, a photographer of Indian decent, expresses the discomfort
he feels because of cultural alienation. His work blends "intelligent staging with
a keen sense of humor," notes Cory Dugan in The Commercial Appeal. "Emanuel's imaginative
narrative offers an important social lesson." This exhibition will take place at the
Art Museum, University of Memphis.
