About Dr. Link

Beth Link's research applies critical theory on race and whiteness to visual art curriculum, enactment, and teacher-identity formation to understand how teachers bridge differences and tell stories through art objects. She is curious about how art educators address cultures they are not a part of and how racial logics inform curriculum design and enactment.

She received a doctorate in curriculum and instruction specializing in cultural studies at the University of Texas at Austin, where she also earned an M.A. in art education. Link has over a decade of teaching experience in elementary schools, community arts, and art museums and has facilitated arts-integrated professional development for K-12 teachers across the globe.

She is currently co-authoring a book on transformative professional learning in art integration. She has articles featured in Art Education, the Journal of Cultural Research in Art Education, and Studies in Art Education.
