| Jill McKillips, Project Assistant - Jill is a Ph.D. student in Teacher Education at Michigan State University. She also holds a B.A. in Art Education and an M.A. in Curriculum and Teaching from Michigan State University. Her research interests include the influences of popular culture on/in a student’s art world, how art is taught in both Eastern and Western cultures, and the development of a global art education curriculum with a focus on teaching beyond the artifact and incorporating more issues of culture and social justice. Jill’s research has taken her to several countries to investigate how art is taught in diverse public educational systems. She is a regular presenter of art educator portfolio preparation at both the Michigan (MAEA) and National (NAEA) Art Education Association’s Annual Conference. She has also presented at the Comparative and International Education Society’s (CIES) 2007 Conference on the development and implementation of a socially just art curriculum. Before pursuing her Ph.D., Jill taught elementary art for two years in Grand Ledge, MI. She is currently teaching TE 802/804, Methods in Art Education, and is also working as an art education field instructor for intern teachers in MSU Teacher Certification Program. |
