This qualitative action research study examined the effects of introducing diverse contemporary artworks into a non-diverse educational setting.

With the assistance of the transformative learning theory, I expected to convert students with non-accepting diversity views into unbiased young women. My research included data gathered from an assortment of alumni interviews, …
