Confronting Ableism: Disability Studies Pedagogy in Preservice Art Education
Derby, John
Studies in Art Education: A Journal of Issues and Research in Art Education, v57 n2 p102-119 2016
This article discusses an action research project in which critical Disability Studies pedagogy was integrated into two Art Education courses for preservice art teachers. Research participants investigated Disability Studies literature and disability visual culture and designed lesson plans, teacher art examples, and artist's statements that confronted "ableism". Attitudinal surveys were administered before and after the project, and several participants were interviewed. First, the project is described; then, student outcomes are examined to illuminate Fiona Campbell's research on ableism, specifically the two core elements that are central to regimes of ableism: the notion of the "normative" and "normate individual" and the enforcement of an "able/not-able constitutional divide". Data suggest that preservice art teachers are ready and willing to engage Disability Studies pedagogy in pK-12 classrooms; as such, this study anticipates a Disability Studies Art Education agenda and exemplifies how Art Education can inform Disability Studies in expanding beyond academia.
