Abstract:
"Neoliberalism, Professionalization, Debt, and the MFA" explores the ideological and theoretical conundrums that misrepresent MFA education as a professionalization rather than as knowledge production. This article claims that viewing arts production as research allows us to see art making as a public good that should be funded by a larger social body.
