anthropology--all which are strongly represented on the OSU art education faculty.
R, D, & D teams will work on different projects, coming together periodically to share
ideas and results. They will seek to form links with interested groups at other universities and

in advance of the annual meeting of the American Educational Research Association.
The national audience served by the specialty program is the audience of art educators
in universities and schools interested in questions related to the development of DBAE

ethnic arts, the teaching of criticism, aesthetics, history and cultural context, and a
