Being Human Today - Art, Education and Mental Health in Conversation

This collection stages a conversation between art, education, and mental health around the question of what it means to be human today.

This book moves beyond the suggestion that “the arrival of the I” in the world would require strong educational or therapeutic interventions or would be a matter of free expression without boundaries. The chapters explore new possibilities for the humanizing work of art, education, and mental health in the world today.

Of interest to academics and scholars in art, education, and mental health, this book will also be suitable for students and practitioners in these fields—mental health practitioners, teachers, and teacher educators, and those working in the arts and arts education.
