SARTS Annual Meeting & Events 2015

We hope you will join SARTS in Atlanta this November (2015) for this event!

"The Arts, Race, and Activism: From the Classroom to the Streets"
Saturday, November 21st
1:00-3:30 p.m.
Westin-Chastain H (Level 6)

SARTS is pleased to announce the program for its annual meeting in Atlanta. The session will focus on: "The Arts, Race, and Activism: From the Classroom to the Streets." 

The past year saw a wake of movements across the country attempting to address issues of racial justice for communities of color. This 90-minute session will feature a conversation about the ways in which the arts not only provide pedagogical avenues for engaging the challenging subject matter of these movements, but also spur creative student activism on our campuses and in the streets of our communities. Brief reflections by five "conversation starters" selected for their work in the area of visual culture and the arts, religion, and activism will spark a free-flowing conversation about the role of imagery and creative expression in contemporary social justice movements. Facilitators and participants will also share teaching tactics for channeling undergraduate creativity and interest in visual culture into concrete expressions of social engagement.

Panelists/Conversation Partners:
Stacey Floyd-Thomas, Vanderbilt Divinity School
Ralph Watkins, Columbia Theological Seminary
Cláudio Carvalhaes, McCormick Theological Seminary
​
Facilitators of the Conversation:
Willie Jennings, Duke Divinity School
Maureen O'Connell, LaSalle University in Philadelphia
Paul Myhre, Wabash Center for Teaching and Learning
