On the occasion of the release of the publication of Rethinking Contemporary Art and Multicultural Education (New Museum/Routledge, 2011), please join featured contributors Susan Cahan, Eungie Joo, Lan Tuazon, and Kara Walker in a panel discussion about the state of and stakes in contemporary art education.

For over a decade the New Museum publication Contemporary Art and Multicultural Education (1996) has served as the guide to multicultural art education, connecting everyday experience, social critique, and creative expression with classroom learning. The much-anticipated Rethinking Contemporary Art and Multicultural Education continues to provide an accessible and practical tool for teachers, while offering new art, essays, and content to account for transitions and changes in both the fields of art and education. The book features full-color and black-and-white reproductions and writings on fifty-seven contemporary artists and their works; lesson plans exploring activism, history, and identity; and essays on technology, art, and teaching in today’s classroom.
