Biography
Amy Ruopp is Associate Professor, Chair of Art Education, and Assistant Dean of Undergraduate Studies at the College for Creative Studies, USA.
"Uniquely useful for graduate education, Ruopp offers a framework for exploring how visual tools can help make sense out of dense theoretical readings, often required for masters and doctoral students about to engage with research. Encounters with Theory is an invitation to rethink the power of the visual and how new understandings of complex theories can emerge through different modes of visualization. Deeply grounded in her practice as artist, teacher and researcher, Ruopp writes with candor and humility, clarity and intelligence. Follow her thinking into collaboration with graduate students. Learn about generative, creative, multi-disciplinary, and even uncomfortable processes can lead to new insights. Muse over visual evidence as well as verbal exchanges entwined with theoretical readings. As Ruopp asserts, researchers have much to gain when the verbal and visual are afforded equal billing in the pursuit of data analysis, knowledge acquisition, and new ideas." -- Karen Lee Carroll, Ed.D, Dean Emeritus, Center for Art Education, Maryland Institute College of Art, USA
