Description
Fifteen members of MassArt attended last year’s Bridgewater conference. This group felt a strong, shared purpose following the gathering, which led to a joint declaration of values of diversity and social justice. The process prompted a renewed emphasis on issues of diversity and social justice at MassArt at a time of tremendous institutional changes. This presentation highlights “pockets of excellence” at MassArt, including best practices in teaching/learning, the Center for Art and Community Partnerships, and the Adderley Lecture Series. Likewise, the presentation identifies challenges, including the development of systems to link the ‘pockets of excellence,’ leadership support and vision, and professional development.
