the role of visual culture in art teacher preparation, and the
intersection of postmodernism and multiculturalism in art education.
She has published and lectured on critical art pedagogy based in
public schools, re-theorizing identity and curriculum, and redefining
multicultural education. Years of experience as an activist public

and bridging theory and practice in multicultural education. She
