ArtsAction Group: Fostering capabilities through social practice.
In this chapter we provide an overview of ArtsAction Group which is then followed by a discussion of the theoretical approaches that guide our work with examples from Sri Lanka, Kosovo, and Algeria/Western Sahara.

Arts-based activism: A framework for analysis.
Drawing upon two threads of theory and practice – Community Cultural Development (CCD) and Socially Engaged Art (SEA), a framework is proposed to address a gap in the respective literatures and to develop ideas and tools that help us get closer to understanding the impact of arts-based activism as a tool for community development, resistance, and political activism. Utilizing an ethnographic and practice-based approach, the proposed framework is applied to a specific project, the ARTifariti International Art and Human Rights Meeting in Western Sahara, as a means of understanding the value and efficacy of this tool.

Learning with Refugees: Arts and Human Rights Across Real and Imagined Borders.
This article discusses a course developed and taught at Adelphi University titled Art and Human Rights: Western Sahara. The course provides an example of how to enact pedagogy that is “critical, democratic, moral and ethical—as much as it is about ‘key skills’ or ‘deep’ individual learning” (Walker, 2004, p. 131). These ideals stem from the perspective shared by Walker (2004) and others that we need to need ways of talking about and actualizing such education pedagogy.

Building Cultures of Peace
Cultivating systemic thinking and critical exploration in post-secondary art education programs concerned with peace and social justice is expressed through a multitude of practices. This chapter provides an analysis of and argument for peace and social justice art education pedagogy grounded in aspects of Sen and Nussbaum’s capability approach and Kester’s notion of dialogical aesthetics. Illustrations of best practices are provided. Art education communities understand the range of interpersonal, sociopolitical, and economic issues generated by the impact of contemporary imagery and the values inherent in such representations. We also understand that such imagery profoundly influences “student identity, notions of citizenship, [and] beliefs about democracy” (Freedman 2003, p 94). Post-secondary art education concerned with building a culture of peace consciously focuses on these issues through curriculum and pedagogy, promoting a deeper understanding of one’s self as well as one’s self in relation to the social and cultural landscape we live in.

The Capability Approach and Citizenship Education: What the Arts Have to Offer
This article explores Nussbaum's notion of the importance of the arts and humanities as they related to global citizenship and education. Nussbaum proposes three capabilities that are, above all, 'essential to the cultivation of humanity in todays' interlocking world' - critical thinking, world citizenship and imaginative understanding. This article looks on the one hand at an obsessive concentration on reading and numeracy programmes, and on the other at an Los Angeles arts education programme '10,000 Kites' which successfully combined a capability focus and social inter-action across cultural fault lines.

Choosing a Life One Has Reason to Value: The Role of Arts in Capability Development
A holistic education linked to creativity, innovation, critical thinking and local/global citizenship is increasingly marginalized in the United States as schools continue to struggle with the impact of high-stakes testing regimes. In particular, urban youths' access to an education that furthers their ability to choose lives they have reason to value, are circumscribed. Current discussions around the skills and capabilities necessary for youth to graduate and be equipped for meaningful lives beyond high school are aligned with research on the benefits of arts education. This mixed-methods exploratory study uses aspects of Sen and Nussbaum's capability approach to frame and examine a range of capabilities fostered through student engagement with arts opportunities, what we refer to as arts pathways, inside of five small arts-focused high schools in NY City, USA.

Fostering Capabilities Towards Social Justice in Art Education
Social justice, in its broadest sense, is about equal rights and opportunities for all. But understandings of rights and opportunities vary widely, depending upon how we are situated socially, politically, economically, and culturally. In education, social justice is not simply the absence of injustice but also the need to recognize and enact teaching and learning that promotes a deeper understanding of ourselves and our students in relation to the broader social and cultural landscape. This article argues that, given the growing diversity of our society, it is imperative for current and future teachers to find ways of embodying, implementing, and assessing social justice practices in art classrooms. The authors' developed, taught, and evaluated a social justice based art education course with a service learning component for undergraduate art education students. Through their experience they discovered that the capabilities students brought to the classroom directly influenced the ways in which they engaged with and put into practice the social justice course material.
