This fundraiser ends TONIGHT! Please donate and share!
This is an emergency fund for low-income students at The Rhode Island School of Design affected by school closure and the COVID-19 epidemic. We are currently accepting Google forms from RISD students in need requesting emergency financial help and will be posting digitized money transfers from all donations collected. We currently have over 1,000 signatures and counting on our petition "Petition for the Partial Refund of Tuition and Fees," in which we are asking the institution for partial tuition refund to compensate for the loss of access to studio space as well as any related lab or equipment fees. While it will be a great victory for students if we get reimbursed for fees we will not be utilizing, we understand that students who rely solely on financial aid will NOT be receiving a significant or any monetary refunds to support their transition to working and living remotely. Unfortunately, the institution has not yet addressed how to support low-income students in this transition. We hope that we as a community and student body can help our peers that need financial help, the help they deserve and need. Thank you.
Congrats on making the list!
UN-SILENCING THE CANON:
HOW RACE, CLASS, GENDER, AND OTHER FORMS OF IDENTITY CAN RADICALIZE ART + DESIGN EDUCATION.
We are looking for more students interested in forms of identity (race, gender, sexuality, class, ability, religion, etc.) and how they intersect with systems of education to enroll in one or more of our Winter Session Workshops!
IDISC-1501: Dynamics of Identity, January 5 - 7, 2018
IDISC-1502: Radical Pedagogies, January 19 - 21, 2018
IDISC-1503: Shared Governance, February 2 - 4, 2018
I will be teaching a winter session class on identity and pedagogy. We are looking for more students (undergraduate, graduate, Brown, RISD) to join one or more of the following workshops/seminar/studios!
UN-SILENCING THE CANON: How race, class, gender, and other forms of identity can radicalize art and design education.

Offering three 1-credit workshop-seminars that complicate, antagonize, and problematize the curriculum:
Week 1 | Dynamics of Identity | January 5 - 7, 2018 | IDISC-1501
Week 2 | Radical Pedagogies | January 19 - 21, 2018 | IDISC-1502
Week 3 | Shared Governance | February 2 - 4, 2018 | IDISC-1503
These workshop will challenge conventional notions of diversity: the harmonious ensemble of benign cultural spheres of undisruptive spaces. Instead, the course asserts radical and antagonistic educational strategies for dealing with the old guard of art and design education. Designed as an intensive workshop-seminar, this course connects students with theoretical texts, faculty, and visiting artists-designers to build student coalition for creating more diverse, inclusive and equitable curriculum. Students will reflect on personal experiences and convictions that have shaped their personal and academic experiences and examine the potential for them to shape RISD's pedagogy. Over the three-week span of Wintersession, students can choose to participate in individual sessions (1-credit each, Pass/Fail) The weekly themes outlined are: Dynamics of Identity, Radical Pedagogies, and Shared Governance. Each workshop spans two days (20 hours), launching with a Friday evening lecture and round table discussion 6:00PM to 9:00PM with selected faculty, alums and guests. The following Saturday and Sunday, students will engage in a studio led by the instructor and visiting guest(s) ending with a closing critique on Sunday afternoon, 9:00AM to 5:30PM. Readings will be distributed the week prior to class.
