Please join us for the talk "Partnerships across Boundaries: Arts Integration at an Urban High School," presented by Alice Pennisi, associate professor and chair of the Art Education Department, on Thursday, April 7, from 12:15 to 1:25 p.m. in Ketchum Hall 313. Light refreshments will be served.

Pennisi will discuss how New Design High School in New York City incorporates well-designed arts integration curricula to help its students combine distinctive forms of literacy to create meanings in the classroom and of the world.

Pennisi has been an art, language arts, science, and social studies teacher and arts integration specialist in New York City, where she co-founded New Design High School. Her interests include reengagement of secondary students through art curricula centered on social theory and teacher-student curriculum negotiation.

The English Education Brown Bag Lecture Series is a free, ongoing speaker series sponsored by the English Education Student Association at Buffalo State. The series seeks to engage faculty and students across campus in meaningful discussions about teaching and learning in twenty-first-century classrooms.
