This article looks at its use in the US State of Wisconsin during the ‘Uprising’ – a series of occupations, protests, recall elections and militant direct action that began in 2011. These events were a response to a ‘budget repair bill’ that sought to strip public sector union members of their collective bargaining rights and to apply severe austerity measures within the State.

All materials in this curriculum are copyrighted as designated. Any republication, retransmission, reproduction, or sale of all or part of this curriculum is prohibited. This curriculum was funded in large by The Oregon Department of Education (ODE) with the passing of Senate Bill 13 in 2017. Senate Bill 13, “ calls upon the Oregon Department of Education to develop a statewide curriculum relating to the Native American experience in Oregon, including tribal history, tribal sovereignty, culture, treaty rights, government, socioeconomic experiences, and current events” (Senate Bill 13: Tribal History/Shared History). In addition to the curriculum developed by ODE, all 9 of the federally recognized tribes in Oregon were designated funds to create their own native based curriculum to tell their story. This is Grand Ronde’s story. Introduction Welcome to the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde Tribal History Curriculum. To begin, we would like to thank you for taking the time to learn and teach about the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde. This curriculum began from the passing of Senate Bill 13 in 2017 and was funded by the Oregon Department of Education. It was brought about by the need in Oregon schools for historically accurate and culturally relevant information about Oregon Native Americans and as a response to the high volume of teacher requests for classroom-ready materials about Oregon Native Americans. The process of creating the curriculum was a tribal wide effort. Several departments including the tribe’s education department, tribal library, natural resources, cultural resources department and many other tribal staff were involved.

  • This Is What Democracy Looks Like: Art and the Wisconsin Uprising
    1 This is What Democracy Looks Like: Art and the Wisconsin Uprising Kim Cosier University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee [email protected] Abstract In February of 2011, an enormous popular political movement came to life in Wisconsin. For many people who were engaged in the month-long occupation of the Capitol in Madison, the Wisconsin Uprising was their first experience with direct political action. For the artists who are the focus of this article, taking part in the Wisconsin Uprising seemed like a natural outgrowth of their many years of socially engaged artmaking. In this article, I offer a brief overview of the Wisconsin Uprising followed by a discussion of the contributions of the artists in the protests in the context of their larger bodies of work. I close with an argument about why art matters in social justice movements and why art teachers have an obligation to include activist art in their curricula. Cosier, K. (2013). This is What Democracy Looks Like: Art and the Wisconsin Uprising. The Journal of Social Theory in Art Education (33) (K. Staikidis, Ed.). 1-20. 2 Art is indeed a weapon, and an especially powerful one in the midst of a peaceful movement. (Julie Gueraseva, 2012) Figure 1. Madison Day 4. Photograph courtesy of Barbara Miner. In February of 2011, an enormous popular political movement came to life in Wisconsin in response to a bill called “Act 10,” which used a trumped up budget crisis to gut unions and strip funding from public schools. It was miraculous; the people (many of whom had previously seemed indifferent to political engagement, being preoccupied with the Green Bay Packers and Friday night fish fries) got up off their couches and barstools and took to the streets – in huge numbers, side by side.

  • Multicultural Art and Visual Learning in Elementary Education
    An Invitation: Multicultural Art and Visual Learning in Elementary Education Christine Woywod University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee ABSTRACT In this article, I recount pivotal encounters that occurred in a course entitled Multicultural Art and Visual Learning during the summer and fall of 2016. I approach this as teacher research, as I personally faced the challenge of how to responsibly engage with Culture Wars as an educator. Through recounting experiences, I extend an invitation to others who are open to the possibility that learning with and through the arts provides students opportunities to make meaningful choices within in their own learning, helps them develop empathy for each other, engages them in challenging dialogues about culture, and prepares them to contribute to life in our democracy and efforts to create a just world.

  • Thesis Mihaela Vancea
    THE POLITICAL TRANSNATIONALISM OF IMMIGRANT ASSOCIATIONS IN BARCELONA Mihaela Vancea TESI DOCTORAL UPF / 2009 DIRECTOR DE LA TESI Dr. Ferran Requejo (Departament de Ciències Polítiques i Socials) ii Per la meva filla Luana iii Acknowledgements This thesis would have not been possible without the physical, intellectual and emotional support of my partner of life, Álex Boso. He has stayed beside me in all the good and bad moments of this challenging and many times extremely tough process. Frustration and exultation, despair and hope, strokes of genius and complete blindness have been my common feelings during this process, an emotional ambivalence supported with stoicism by this person that makes my life better. I am extremely indebted to my daughter Luana, the reason of my existence in this world, for the energy she gave me to finish this work. She came to this world in one of the last moments of this project. I apologise to her for all the moments I have stolen her and dedicated to this thesis. This task would have defeated me for sure without the extraordinary support and advice of my tutor, Ferran Requejo. I thank him for his remarkably commentaries, patience and complete confidence in my capabilities to undertake this new step in my professional career. I am also extremely grateful to Klaus-Jürgen Nagel for his assiduous and inspiring academic guidance in all these years, for his support and facility to read all my drafts and, moreover, comment on them in a very constructive manner. I am particularly indebted to Ricard Zapata, Javier Astudillo and Gösta Esping-Andersen for their support and comments at the beginning of this work.
