In October, the second edition of Judith Peck's text book Art and Social Interaction: How College Students Spark Creativity, Purpose and Joy in Institutional Settings will be published by Routledge Press. The culmination of decades of experiential teaching at Ramapo College of New Jersey, the book lays out how students can deploy visual arts activities to benefit individuals in jails, nursing homes, pschiatric facilities, domestic abuse shelters and youth care centers - all while cultivating students' sense of community engagement. Advance copies of the book are available upon request. |
