Jennifer Hall, Professor in the Art Education Department, is included in a new publication, Blaze: Discourse on Art, Women, and Feminism.

Co-editited by Karen E. Frostig and Kathy A. Halamka, the book features fourteen detailed and well-documented feminist histories that narrate a number of pertinent strands of activism regarding feminist art, scholarship, and organizational development while exploring current crossroads.

Jennifer has co-written a chapter of Blaze with Ellen S. Ginsburg, PhD., medical anthropologist and Associate Professor of Anthropology/Sociology at Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, Boston, MA. The title of their chapter is: “The Tipping Point Project: A Case Study in the Collaboration between Medical Anthropology and Art,” which is a case study evaluation of an interactive art installation they opened at the Boston Center for the Arts last year.  The “Tipping Point Project” brings together the collaborative efforts of Professor Ginsburg and Professor Hall, Information Artist, to create a new paradigm that merges art practices with anthropological investigation.
