Worlding Global Art Histories through Teaching

About this book

Worlding Global Art Histories through Teaching positions art-history education as a tool for world-making and democratic engagement in a time of division. It is a vital resource for educators and students that considers global art histories not as a top-down structure, but as a dynamic and evolving process. Edited by Eva Bentcheva, Birgit Hopfener, Franziska Koch, Miriam Oesterreich, and Ming Tiampo, it brings together essays, conversations, and reflections on syllabi, with the contributors considering how pedagogy cultivates critical thinking and decolonial awareness. Drawing from teaching experiences in Canada, China, Germany, Singapore, the United States, and other countries, this collection advocates for relationality and pluriversal knowledge as a way to challenge a Eurocentric canon.
