The changing cultural, historical, and political contexts of arts education are recognized to be central to learning, experi- ence, knowledge. The books in this series present theories and methodological approaches used in arts education research as well as related disciplines - including philosophy, sociology, anthropology and psychology of arts education. The series editor invites you to contact her with plans and ideas for books that would fit in the series.
