PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY

I am currently the Dean of Academic Affairs for the School of Architecture and Allied Arts, a Professor and Program Director in the Arts Administration Program, and the Director of the Institute for Community Arts Studies at the University of Oregon. As director of the Institute, I inaugurated the on-line advisory CultureWork. In addition, I teach and advise students at both the graduate and undergraduate level who have an interest in arts administration and community arts. My research attends to community arts, civil society, program accessibility, and art education. I provide service to professional organizations internationally, nationally, regionally, and locally.

EDUCATION

Ph.D. 1983 in Art Education, Ohio State University
M. A. 1979 in Art Education, Ohio State University
B.S. 1974 in Art Education, Ohio University

ACADEMIC AND ADMINISTRATIVE APPOINTMENTS

1998 - present: Director, Arts and Administration Program, School of Architecture and Allied Arts, University of Oregon
1997 - present: Director, Institute for Community Arts Studies, University of Oregon
1993 - present: Arts & Administration Program, AAA, University of Oregon
1987 - 1993: Department of Art Education, School of Architecture and Allied Arts, University of Oregon
1983 - 1987: Chairperson, Division of Art Education/Art Therapy, School of Art, Bowling Green State University

PUBLICATIONS, LECTURES AND PROFESSIONAL SERVICES

My research has been published in Studies in Art Education, Art Education, the Journal of Multicultural and Cross-Cultural Research in Art Education , and the Visual Sociology Review among other journals. My research has also been published in scholarly books . I have co-edited four books published by academic presses. Juried and invited lectures have been given at numerous international, national, and regional conventions, symposia, and universities. Professional service has included leadership positions within the Cultural Policy Network of the Center for Arts and Culture, the United States Society for Education through Art, Caucus on Social Theory in Art Education, and the Public Policy and Arts Administration affiliate of the National Art Education Association.

RESEARCH AND TEACHING INTERESTS

My research and teaching focuses on providing art experiences in community-based settings that meet the needs of all participants. Research and teaching has also concentrated on the relationships between art, education, community, and place. My research and teaching is informed by the belief that arts and cultural settings have been, and continue to be, among those informal and formal enclaves in which people assemble, work, and act together for a variety of social, political, cultural, economic, aesthetic, and educational purposes. The arts are a catalyst for dialogue about individual and group identity; local, national, and international concerns; and ultimately the pursuit of democracy.

CONSULTING

Consultant work has been provided to universities, community arts centers, professional associations, and publishers. Consultant work has focused on program accessibility, curriculum development, editorial work, and professional development.
