Artist-Teacher Practice and the Expectation of an Aesthetic Life Creative Being in the Neoliberal Classroom

I am delighted to see the publication of Artist-Teacher-Practice and the Expectation of an Aesthetic Life. This book, with its excellent combination of sophisticated theory and frontline ethnographic research, makes a vitally important contribution to research into the concept and practices of the artist-teacher movement. The author has a strong personal grounding in the classroom as an artist teacher herself that has enabled her to make this powerful analysis of the movement in context.
