Kit Grauer is actively involved in art education organizations
at the local, national and international levels. She
has held executive positions in the BC Art Teachers
Association, Canadian Society for Education through
Art, National Art Education Association as Director
in Higher Education and the Chair of the NAEA Teacher
Education Research Task Force and numerous executive
positions in the International Society for Education
through Art including President. She is also very involved
with art education publications and has been on the
Editorial Board of the Canadian Review of Research and
Issues in Art Education, The Canadian Art Teacher, Art
Education, Cat's Cradle, Journal of Aesthetic Education
and is the former Editor of InSEA News.
Dr. Grauer's interests include arts-based and image-based
research, international issues in art education, teacher
education and art curriculum and instruction. She has
done numerous presentations, in service sessions and
keynote speeches in these areas. Her current research
includes the use of artistic pedagogical strategies
in both pre service and inservice teacher education,
museum education and community based education. Her
previous interests on the beliefs of pre service teachers
toward art education and changing beliefs of artists,
teachers and researchers involved in artist in the schools
programs (http://ijea.asu.edu/v2n9/)
have largely influenced the new set of studies she is
currently engaged in researching.
In 2008, Kit Grauer (PI), David Darts (NYU), Sandra
Weber (Concordia) and Celeste Snowber (SFU) secured
a standard SSHRC grant to work on a project entitled
"The Art of New Media Education: A Study
of Community-based New Media Arts Education."
In 2004, Rita Irwin (PI), Carl Leggo, Peter Gouzouasis
and Kit secured a standard SSHRC grant to investigate
the use of integrative arts strategies within diverse
learning environments. This work is taking them into
elementary and secondary art, music and writing and
generalist classrooms as they endeavour to work with
teachers and students to learn how they might develop
more robust knowledge over time through the arts. Kit
is currently working with Helen Robertson in Delta Elementary
Schools and Julie Lymburner in a Secondary art setting.
The study employs a/r/tographical research methods that
include a variety of qualitative research data collection
strategies and forms of analysis. Much of the work is
image based using digital photography. An exciting addition
to this study is a newly developed Elementary Teacher
Education cohort in the one year elementary program
at UBC. Partially funded by the Dean’s office,
Lynda Hamilton, and Kit Grauer, to honor the memory
of Margaret Grauer, this cohort entitled “Teaching
From the Heart”, has beginning teachers
working with artists at UBC and in their practicum schools.
Heather McKay and Catherine Johnson are the faculty
advisors and Alex de Cosson and Kathryn Ricketts are
the artists.
Also in 2004, Co-Investigators Ruth Beer (Emily Carr
Institute of Art and Design), Rita Irwin (PI), Gu Xiong
(UBC Dept. of Art, Theory and Art History), collaborator
Stephanie Springgay (Penn State University), and Kit
Grauer secured a strategic research/creation SSHRC grant
entitled: The “City of Rich Gate: Research
and Creation into Community-Engaged Arts Practices.”
This SSHRC study unites artistic production, education
and artistic/research investigations with issues of
identity, place and community in the city of Richmond
where the population has dramatically shifted toward
an Asian base. The artistic and pedagogical significance
for this study resides in exploring this geographically
and culturally hybrid site as a site for creating community.
“The Grauer Story” on Kit’s home page
is an example of this work.
A UBC Hampton Grant (with Carl Leggo (PI) and Co-Investigators
Kit Grauer, Rita Irwin, Peter Gouzouasis seeks to archive
all of the arts-based research work that has occurred,
or is occurring, in the Faculty of Education at UBC,
while also attempting to further develop the methodology
of a/r/tography in greater depth (across the arts).
For further information of the A/r/tography
projects please see the a/r/tography website http://m1.cust.educ.ubc.ca/Artography/
For immediate information on the Research/Creation
SSHRC project, please see the brochure accompanying
the art exhibitions in Chongqing and Beijing China in
June 2005: http://m1.cust.educ.ubc.ca/Artography/richgate.pdf
Kit Grauer has been heavily involved with the graduate
program in art education and the teacher education program
at UBC and is now focusing her teaching in the secondary
art teacher education program, (smART),
the Elementary program “Teaching from
the Heart”, the gallery and museum certificate
program with collaborative courses with the Vancouver
Art Gallery and the Anthropology Museum. She is Chair
of Art Education at UBC.
In recent years, Kit Grauer has been awarded the NAEA/BC
Art Educator Award; the NAEA Pacific Region Art Education
Award; the UBC Killam Teaching Excellence Award; the
Alma Mater Society "Just Desserts" service
award; the CSEA Gaitskell Award, the UBC Sam Black Award
for Education and Development in the Arts, the USSEA
Ziegfeld International Award, the AERA Award for Best
Publication in an Electronic Journal, the George Cedric
Metcalf Foundation Award for Excellence in Research
and the UBC Murray Elliot Award for Teacher Education.
