More About Me

My name is Michelle and I am pursuing my MA in Art Education at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. This is a journal to track my fieldwork. The primary query driving my research is: How do nonprofit arts organizations educate, empower, and engage underprivileged teens in the areas of social justice and community building? Additionally I want to know: Which approaches are working? Which approaches need reworking? And in this particular context, how does one measure a program's successes and failures?
