LARTS 342 — EDIB, the Arts, and Society: The Artist as an Agent of Democracy

3 credits
Fall
Ariana DasGupta

In 2018, Juilliard adopted a core value of equity, diversity, inclusion, and belonging (EDIB). Juilliard defines these terms in a way that allows for their application in an institute of higher education focused on artistic excellence. These definitions have rich and nuanced sociohistorical roots which accompany the meandering journey of democracy itself. In this course, we will trace this complex history so that we may locate ourselves in relationship to it. We aim to answer the question: What is the artist’s role in amplifying and embodying EDIB in a democratic society?
