.Professional Statement
I`ve been active in arts education advocacy and research in the U.S. for two decades. I`m currently leading the first national research project on teaching artists, the Teaching Artist Research Project. (http://teachingartists.uchicago.edu) In the US, teaching artists have been part of the political landscape for a century -- since they first ran arts programs for immigrants at the Settlements -- but they have never been more important. With the new Obama administration there appears to be a serious opportunity to expand resources and supports for arts education and teaching artists, making the study especially timely.
