2014 summer institute

Dialogic Pedagogy and Meaning-Making through Contemporary Art

June 24 – 28, 2014

The Summer Institute on Contemporary Art is a free professional development institute at Penn State. Participants are invited to spend five summer days exploring pedagogical spaces created within practices of dialogic meaning-making. The institute is a means to put theory into practice by exploring themes on the relationship between the body, dialogic teaching practices, and contemporary art. Participants will co-develop approaches to incorporating contemporary art into their curricula; discuss readings on contemporary art, pedagogical theory, museums, and curriculum; engage in group discussions, in-gallery experiences, and studio projects; and take away new information and images for classroom use.

This summer we are pleased to welcome Dr. Terry Barrett
