Marjorie Cohee Manifold is Assistant Professor of Art Education in the Curriculum and Instruction Department, School of Education, Indiana University. Her responsibilities include teaching art methods courses in the art teacher certification program, and instructing graduate seminars in art education. She is President Elect of the United States Society for Education Through Art (USSEA) and will assume presidency of that organization in spring 2009. She also is a North American World Councilor to the International Society for Education Through Art (InSEA). USSEA and InSEA are affiliated organizations. Their members advocate forms of education that nurture the life-affirming imaginations and creativity of children and encourage tolerance, appreciation and respect among all people.
Professor Manifold began her research work by looking at the aesthetic sensibilities and artistic practices of folk artists in dynamic interaction with their local communities. These interests transitioned into explorations of the art making practices and products of adolescents and young adults who are fans of various pop-culture narratives. She examines visual and narrative representations that are molded within social contexts of online fan communities. Additional interests include inquiry of extracurricular online learning practices and socio-aesthetic interactions among youth from diverse backgrounds that contribute to appreciation of local and cosmopolitan perspectives and encourage active participation in global citizenship.
Professor Manifold has presented at national and international conferences, and published numerous peer reviewed articles and book chapters. She has served on the editorial boards of the Journal for Cultural Research in Art Education and Journal of Social Theory in Art Education. She currently is on the editorial board of Visual Arts Research and Compare: A Journal of Comparative and International Education.
