- I have 30 years experience as an artist, educator, and writer. My art installations address the local manifestation of global concerns, including climate change, food safety, and nuclear waste. Most recently, my work has been shown at the Andy Warhol Museum, Exit Art, the Hudson River Museum, several northeast universities, and in Japan.

My essays on eco/community art and interdisciplinary pedagogy have been published in several journals and anthologies.

Shifting Tides

Thanks

I think we have to be careful in our discussions here to not exclude people who are not familiar with the theory! This is one reason after grad school that I started veering away from it--it seemed exclusionary and left a lot of people out of the conversation and started to feel like it was for an elite group only. I do still think it is useful, that it can inform action and help us be more critical and reflective, but it has it's limitations (as does uninformed action).Reply by Ann Rosenthal
Just to let you know there is a chat room on your discussion page. We found it a much faster and less frustrating way to communicate then using the forum entries. Hope your discussion goes well.
