Amanda Price is an educator-researcher with over ten years of experience in K-12 public schools. Her work is the result of the entanglement of her roles as researcher, past and present student, and educator. As an art educator she is committed to building relationships and fostering an educational experience of connection, personal expression, and imagining new possibilities in classroom spaces for all ages, including the mentoring of future art educators. She is interested in contemporary artistic practices, inquiry, practices of care, and how Eastern philosophies can be pedagogically incorporated into the classroom.

Amanda earned her PhD in Art at the university of Georgia with a focus on Art Education. Her success in the field of art education has led to nominations and awards, most notably as the selected recipient of the Athens Foundation for Excellence’s Lamar Dodd Chair for Teachers of Fine Arts Award in recognition of her excellence in instruction and ability to inspire creativity in students. She has recently presented research at conferences such as the Art Education Research Institute, the National Art Education Association conference, and research symposiums at the University of Georgia.
