Anna Ryoo, PhD, is Assistant Professor of Art Education in the Department of Art and Design at California State University, Northridge. She received her PhD degree in Curriculum Studies, specializing in Art Education, from the University of British Columbia (UBC), Vancouver, Canada. During her doctoral study, she was awarded Four-Year Doctoral Fellowship by Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) as well as many other awards and grants. Most recently, her dissertation, “Art, Education, and Arendt: Political and Aesthetic Gestures of Amor Mundi,” received ARTS SIG Outstanding Dissertation Award from Canadian Society for the Study of Education (CSSE).

Her research and teaching practices are informed by discourses in education, art, political theory, and continental philosophy as well as events that occur in the world that we live in. Similar to her artistic practice, she perceives everything she encounters as a potential material or subject matter to be studied, each with its own unique contribution and connection to what existed before us as well as what is yet to be understood. Her scholarly practice may be described as “engaging in the endless activity of understanding” rather than knowing as Hannah Arendt would describe her own work.
