NAEA has created a wide-ranging and flexible repository of multimedia resources, readings, and materials that support our membership’s commitment to grappling with interpersonal and societal issues that still impact oppressed communities in the field. A key recommendation from the NAEA ED&I Task Force is to create space intended to support the ongoing learning of our members at all stages of their discovery of personal and collective agency to counter oppressive practices and structures in the art classroom and in the community, now and into the future.
