Steppingstones: Pivotal Moments in
Art Education History
Authored By: Paul E. Bolin, Ami Kantawala, Mary Ann Stankiewicz
Publisher: Teachers College Press (2021)
“This book… takes us on a journey beneath the tip of the iceberg to shed light on critical, yet latent, narratives invisibilized by an imperialist white supremacist, capitalist, patriarchal system.”
“The editors’ moves to expand and reframe art education history exemplify just how much has been omitted from the archives, and this is a step toward amending the historical record.”
— gloria j. wilson & Amber C. Coleman, Studies in Art Education
“We must continue to make visible these narratives, and at the same time we need to expand the field so as to make visible the histories of art education and artist educators from other communities, such as indigenous, Asian, Latinx, and other minoritized populations in the United States. This is long overdue. “
–– Adriana Katzew, Teachers College Record
