Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion

The Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Special Interest Group (EDI)

The PAEA’s Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Special Interest Group (EDI) encompasses the national level interest groups like the Committee on Multiethnic Concerns (COMC)–Established 1971, LGBTQ+ Interest Group–Established 1996 and Asian Art and Culture Interest Group (AACIG)—Established 2017.

Like the before-mentioned national interest groups, the purpose of the Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Special Interest Group (EDI) is to encourage, strengthen, and promote understanding of cultural diversity through the identifying of African, Asian, Hispanic, and Native Americans and to make visible lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender issues within the field of art education.

The Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) interest group actively works against misrepresentation and bias in our culture and teaching institutions. Another goal is to produce safer spaces for all students, teachers, and people in our schools and society.

PAEA embraces, represents, and advances greater diversity, equity, accessibility, and inclusivity throughout the Visual Art Education community and partnerships.
