Resources, materials, and discussion for Module 4 engaged us in discussion about the future of arts and culture programming, including the kinds of experiences and environments we might find ourselves in based on our understanding of today’s trends. But what about education for future arts managers or culture workers in years to come? What should they learn about or explore in a graduate program training them to engage in near futures?
Currently, this course is built on four primary modules/questions spanning a range of interrelated concepts and issues. In your group essay, imagine the syllabus for the course in 2035: what four questions will comprise the syllabus twenty years from now? Support each question with brief discussion of trends, issues, concepts, or practices that you believe will shape arts and culture fields two decades from now. While the questions you pose may be influenced by technological developments, they should also address broader issues and topics. In addition to posing four questions, describe how the learning environment for the course will be like and/or unlike the one we operate in today. Finally imagine and describe the final project for the course. Keep in mind that the students taking the course in 2035 are currently in elementary school (or thereabouts)—such that the “audience” for the course you design will be living through (and aclimating to) any of the dynamics you address.
As with the other module essays, this one need not be laden with citations for course readings in order to present your central argument. However, feel free to draw on module resources or links posted to Diigo in order to ground or illustrate your discussion/response to the prompt.
