Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
One way to look at the 1995-96 proposed social action through art theme is that issues of relevance continually emerge- that is the action itself. Social action as identified in these articles revolved around the issue of diversity. Some identified differences as an abrupt clash or confrontation, others as a negotiation between worlds. All were concerned that we critically examine the values embedded in images-whether in art history textbooks, everyday images surrounding us via entertainment systems, television, film, or computers; or in "fine" art.

Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
Anxiously awaiting the responses to the theme for this year's journal-"social action through art"-I envisioned manuscripts from artists, educators, and scholars who were "making it happen." In readying three of the manuscripts for publication, I discovered that what 1 thought was a seductive "call for physical action" was interpreted in a much broader sense. The authors' expansion of the theme coupled with the complexity of issues presented make JSTAE 15/16 an exceptional issue.
