The Maxine Greene Center will be represented by the following presentation:
Aesthetic Education-Supporting Communities to See What Could be Otherwise
How might a work of art provoke conversation, inspire empathy, invite discussion with a diversity of points of view, and address bullying behaviors? Through an interactive, inquiry-based workshop focused on one work of art- a photograph by photographer Gordon Parks taken in NYC in 1934- we will introduce an approach to aesthetic education based upon the philosophy of Dr. Maxine Greene
Presenters:
Holly C. Fairbank, Executive Director, MGC, Inc. and Dr. Ruth Zealand, College of New Rochelle, NY
