‘Routes & Roots: Transnational Genealogies of Art Education’ addresses an essential need in art education scholarship by rethinking how histories are built, told and applied in an increasingly connected world. This Special Issue aims to help fill that gap by focusing on histories that explore the movement, circulation, translation and transformation of ideas, practices, policies and communities related to art education across borders.

How do local roots influence the interpretation of incoming routes? How do routes challenge, expand or reshape existing roots? And how do these reciprocal processes complicate straightforward narratives of influence, origin and authenticity? By engaging with this metaphor, contributors are encouraged to produce historically detailed accounts that consider both mobility, place, and critically examines the conditions under which knowledge is produced and validated.

Possible themes for this might include:

• Transnational circulation of policies, curricula and pedagogical models

• Genealogies of ideas, materials, techniques and institutional practices

• Colonial, postcolonial and decolonial histories (Eldridge 2018)

• Diasporic, migratory and trans-Indigenous contexts

• International policy frameworks in historical perspective

• Museums, archives and exhibitions as transnational sites

• Teacher education and professional networks

• Children and adult art education movements

• Digital platforms and global visual culture

• Reflexive historiography and archival silences

Illustrative topics may include:

• Movement of Bauhaus pedagogies across regions

• Indigenous practices shaping museum education

• Community or activist movements in art education across continents

• Policy translation in arts curricula

• Diasporic artists as educators

• Cold War cultural diplomacy and art education

• Oral histories in transnational contexts

• Art education in displacement and refugee settings
