Speaking Up: Empowering Change in the Next Generation Through Arts Education
feat. Jeff Poulin (Arts Education Manager, Americans for the Arts)
Thursday, February 23, 12-1:20 pm
Hamburg Hall 1204
Lunch provided
As emerging arts and cultural leaders, we all know the path which brought us to today. However, what would have happened with our life if we never had the transformative experience of arts education? Join Jeff M. Poulin for an inspiring discussion about a future rich in arts and cultural education for America’s students. Exploring pathways in pedagogy, policy, and politics, Jeff will apply his national perspective in arts and cultural policy in Washington, D.C. to the most local of challenges in equity, quality, and issues of social justice.
About the speaker:
Jeff M. Poulin joined the arts education team at Americans for the Arts in 2013. He works to empower local, state and federal advocates to advance policies supportive of arts education through communications, field education, and strategic partnerships.
Before arriving in D.C., Jeff worked for several nonprofit and commercial organizations in the US and abroad focused primarily in production and programming, audience development, research and policy. Notably, he was a chief advisor on the implementation of the first national Arts in Education Charter under the directions of the Ministers of Arts and Education in the Republic of Ireland. Jeff frequently speaks at a number of nonprofit organizations and universities.
Jeff hails from Portland, Maine and holds a Master of Arts degree in Arts Management and Cultural Policy from University College Dublin and a Bachelor of Science degree in Entertainment Business from Oklahoma City University.
