A Search for Community Pedagogy Dissertation A SEARCH FOR COMMUNITY PEDAGOGY DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Kathleen Keys, B.F.A., B.A., M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2003 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Christine Ballengee Morris Dr. Vesta Daniel Art Education Graduate Program Dr. Patricia Stuhr ABSTRACT Informed by community-based arts education, arts-based community development, and critical pedagogy, this research explores and articulates an evolving model of possibility for community pedagogy. Important and relevant for arts educators, arts administrators and other cultural workers, a community pedagogy utilizing the arts for social change offers entrances to reclamation of self, space and place leading to individual and/or communal agency and progressive social justice efforts. Ethnographic methods such as participant/observation, portraiture of community- based arts workers, arts-based research methods, and narrative writing, were equally utilized to yield highly self-reflexive education data constructions resulting in significant implications for art education. The research journey culminated in a participatory visual art exhibition/installation entitled, A Search for Community Pedagogy: Collage Reclamations of Space and Self. Artistic works created by the artist-educator-researcher-administrator including paintings, panels (visual journals) and mixed-media self-portraits developed visual metaphors which created understandings into relationships to pedagogical building blocks, assertion of voice, location as an activist, notions of community and even issues ii such as life and death. As the research progressed the artwork and narrative reflections served as signposts exposing new directions, clarifying emergent thinking and becoming part of data analysis. Mirroring its exploration, community pedagogy is gradually presented in the research journey in the form of a collage. As an initial foundational layer, a base of a sincere and well functioning egalitarian community must exist, no matter what the teaching/learning setting. Next the educator/learner-cultural worker must commit to ideas of facilitative leadership and to empowering students/colleagues/communities. Additional layers include fostering an educative experience that demands decision-making, encourages freedom and facilitates self-expression. This creates a situation or experience of lived community—the essence of community pedagogy. Processes, evolutions, arts based research and manifestation of the exhibition/installation each reflected theories and performed practices of community pedagogy. Implications of community pedagogy for art education and the aforementioned sister fields are noted and the usefulness of arts- based research is discussed. iii Dedicated to the ancestors, those I walk the world with, and in loving memory of my sister-in-law, Melissa Katherine Taylor and my uncle, Sean McAree Maloy. You all have taught me how to live in community. iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Several individuals and indeed my personal, family, peer, practitioner and academic communities in total have helped to make this work possible. Sincere and extensive thanks to Dr. Christine Ballengee Morris, my adviser, and artist-educator-researcher-administrator role model. Her never-ending and unconditional support of my abilities to move forward, risk and articulate my ideas is consistently refreshing and encouraging. Thank you to Dr. Vesta Daniel for guidance within studies of community-based art education, additional counsel in the research process, and her encouragement and general excitement regarding my work. Thank you to Dr. Patricia Stuhr for believing in me and my research and cultivating spaces within the art education department for new kinds of research. Thanks also to Dr. Amy Shuman for her thoughtfulness, feedback and encouragement through my proposal and examination processes. Thank you to the many additional scholars and community arts practitioners, artists and teachers who came before me and whose shoulders I stand on. Paulo Freire, Augusto Boal, Maryo Ewell, Henry Giroux, David Trend, and William Cleveland to name but a few. v To Dr. Sue Anne Lafferty for her support, feedback, advice and friendship. I would also like to gratefully acknowledge the important support from my doctoral student colleagues. To Anniina Suominen for walks and talks about arts-based research and other things doctoral. To Karen Clark-Keys, Rina Kindu, Cynthia Collins, Melanie Buffington, Judy Brown, and Keith Lee for their friendship and encouragement. To my partner Brian Taylor for continually suggesting that I work on my dissertation and his never ending belief in me as an artist (even prior to reclamation). To my sister, Kerin, for listening to my crazed rantings and offering feedback and support across e-mail and telephone lines. To my mother, for asking in almost each and every phone conversation—“Are you getting any work done?” And later her selfless contribution of many hours and labor in the initial exhibition/installation preparation. To my father for his unconditional support and interest. To my Grandmother who posited that “it would be good when I was finished so that I could get on with my life.” Thanks also to my mother and father in-law for their love, support and assistance in journeying back to Idaho. To my many supporters in Idaho who encouraged me and divulged that they wished they could make such a change or alteration in their lives to complete an important goal. Special heartfelt hanks to colleagues and dear friends Ruth Piispanen, Maria Carmen Gambliel, Heather Ferrell, Fran Valentine, Brian Hunt, & Greg Hahn. Special thanks as well to Belinda Higgs, who gave advice at the copy machine one day when she heard me talking about giving in to others’ doubts and skepticism about my ability to progress at a quickened pace. “Don’t let others define what you can or cannot do” she said, and thankfully, with the support of the aforementioned individuals vi and community—I did not. Thank you also to the nay-sayers the doubters and the pessimists—your doubts at first troubled and then motivated me. To other new colleagues I met at the Multicultural Center, Rebecca Nelson, Debra Shipper, Dr. Dionne Blue, Dr. Kay Fukuda, Carol Kane, Stepanie Daza, Patricia Gray- Mendoza, Rose Bremer, and most recently Molly Springer and Kashif Khan and Brent Peacock for their support, insights, and interest. I will miss creating community with you. vii VITA August 6, 1970…………… Born - Williamsburg, Virginia Summer 1992……………… Intern, Museum of Modern Art 1992……………………… B.A. Arts Administration, The University of Kentucky 1992……………………… B.F.A.

  • Governing the Egalitarian Core of the Internet
    International Journal of Communications Law & Policy Special Issue Global Flow of Information, Autumn 2005 GOVERNING THE EGALITARIAN CORE OF THE INTERNET ∗ By Christoph Engel ∗∗ ABSTRACT Few would claim that regulators, or academics working on regulatory policy, have neglected the Internet. However, most of their work is attracted by the global character of the Internet. Admit- tedly, this is a serious challenge to regulation, but it is not the only, and probably not even the most disquieting one. In the regulatory discourse, short shrift is given to the fact that the Internet originated in the egalitarian culture of American university computer labs. Its architecture was shaped during that period. Up to the present day, many key functions for Internet management are held by people coming from that culture. This paper argues that the egalitarian challenge to Internet governance has been largely over- looked. The challenge is serious, but not unmanageable. Nevertheless, regulators must use appro- priate concepts to understand the challenge. A subfield of sociology, cultural theory, is particularly instrumental for that purpose. In order to address the challenge, regulators must use a set of gov- ernance tools that deviates considerably from standard regulatory responses. INTRODUCTION The Problem Regulators are not good at multi-tasking. Admittedly, no one would claim that regulators have neglected the Internet. After all, there is a flurry of regulatory activity all over the world, 1 and an almost intractable amount of academic work on Internet-related subjects. 2 Most of this work is driven by the global character of the Internet. Admittedly, this poses a serious challenge to regulation,3 but it is not the only one, and probably not even the most disquieting one.

    The Commune Movement during the 1960s and the 1970s in Britain, Denmark and the United States Sangdon Lee Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Leeds School of History September 2016 i The candidate confirms that the work submitted is his own and that appropriate credit has been given where reference has been made to the work of others. This copy has been supplied on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement ⓒ 2016 The University of Leeds and Sangdon Lee The right of Sangdon Lee to be identified as Author of this work has been asserted by him in accordance with the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 ii Abstract The communal revival that began in the mid-1960s developed into a new mode of activism, ‘communal activism’ or the ‘commune movement’, forming its own politics, lifestyle and ideology. Communal activism spread and flourished until the mid-1970s in many parts of the world. To analyse this global phenomenon, this thesis explores the similarities and differences between the commune movements of Denmark, UK and the US. By examining the motivations for the communal revival, links with 1960s radicalism, communes’ praxis and outward-facing activities, and the crisis within the commune movement and responses to it, this thesis places communal activism within the context of wider social movements for social change. Challenging existing interpretations which have understood the communal revival as an alternative living experiment to the nuclear family, or as a smaller part of the counter-culture, this thesis argues that the commune participants created varied and new experiments for a total revolution against the prevailing social order and its dominant values and institutions, including the patriarchal family and capitalism.

  • Community Action: a Framework for Egalitarian, Reciprocal Community Engagement in the Field of Rhetoric and Composition
    Community Action: A Framework for Egalitarian, Reciprocal Community Engagement in the Field of Rhetoric and Composition by Paul T. Feigenbaum A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the degree requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (English and Education) in The University of Michigan 2008 Doctoral Committee: Professor Anne R. Gere, Co-Chair Associate Professor Carla O’Connor, Co-Chair Professor William R. Alexander Professor John C. Burkhardt Associate Professor Paula Mathieu, Boston College University © Paul T. Feigenbaum 2008 Acknowledgments First and foremost, I want to thank my wife Bayan for all her support during this extended process. My writing the dissertation occurred while she was making a huge transition from life in Uzbekistan to life in America, and she made this transition with incredible grace and patience. She also sacrificed much time and energy in helping me finish! My parents, William and Janice, have provided more support than can possibly be detailed here. There are countless reasons why this dissertation would not have happened if not for them, extending far beyond the specific detail of their having given me birth! I would like to spend some time reflecting on and thanking the five members of my dissertation committee. I first met my Co-Chair Anne Gere in 1999. Her course on composition theory opened up a world for me, an entire discipline I had known little about, one that would quickly become more exciting and intellectually stimulating for me than the work I was doing in literary criticism. Then Anne proved incredibly supportive in allowing me to transition from Language and Literature to English and Education.

A social 'consciousness' that lacks ecological consciousness will inevitably corrupt and disintegrate. Just as the system has led the social crisis into chaos, so has the environment begun to send out S.O.S. signals in the form of life-threatening catastrophes. Cancer-like cities, polluted air, the perforated ozone layer, the rapidly accelerating extinction of animal and plant species, the destruction of forests, the pollution of water by waste, piling up mountains of rubbish and unnatural population growth have driven the environment into chaos and insurrection. It's all about maximum profit, regardless of how many cities, people, factories, transportation, synthetic materials, polluted air and water our planet can handle. This negative development is not fate. It is the result of an unbalanced use of science and technology in the hands of power.
