Outline

Text

Intersecting trends in society, higher education, and health care have brought new priorities for Creative Arts Therapy (CAT) education to the forefront. Specifically, aspects of teaching and learning are moving into the digital space, and simultaneously there is a vital need to revise pedagogy and curricula towards more cultural responsivity, inclusivity, and equity. The careers of students currently in training programs may well extend into the mid-21st century, which creates some urgency in relation to both. This presentation will explore how these two concurrent developments overlap, articulate challenges presented by the intersection, and identify possible ways that the two essential change processes can potentiate each other.
