Abstract
In this introduction we argue that there is an urgent need to think together the shared crisis found in arts education and in teaching more broadly conceptualized. In both cases, there is a consistent attack against the aesthetic dimensions of experience. We then outline how individual chapters in this collection can help us to appreciate the political, economic, social, and philosophical overlaps between the teachings of the arts and the art of teaching.
