BTAL is interested in ethnographic study to collect the stories, traditions, and artifacts from Afro-descendant artists across the African Diaspora to address the extant gaps in research and knowledge on Black-identifying teaching artists, which includes what they need and want from the institutions that employ them. Despite the institutional racism that pervades America’s education system and the ongoing fatigue and frustration of our nation’s Black educators, throughout this literature review, promising organizations and practices here in the U.S. have been identified, all working towards better supporting these educators. The ultimate hope is to not only gain a better understanding of who America’s Black-identifying teaching artists are, but also of the ways in which our society can provide the tools and resources for them to have a more equitable work and social life.
