Rita L. Irwin, Ed.D. is an Associate Professor in the Department of Curriculum Studies at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. While on sabbatical during the fall of 1997 she plans to continue her research with contemporary Aboriginal artists in Australia and Canada. An interesting aspect of this project is its emphasis upon collaborative forms of inquiry and role-sharing as artists, curators, educators and programmers come together through video-conferencing and face-to-face meetings to design and implement a travelling international art exhibition scheduled to begin in Adelaide Australia February-April 1998. This project provides a basis upon which Rita will begin discussions related to art, artists, ecology and interdisciplinary aspects of curriculum.
