About

The Michigan Art Education Association (MAEA) offers its members the unique opportunity to showcase outstanding artwork produced by students from all regions of the state of Michigan. In future years, artwork must be submitted first to its region to qualify for state adjudication -- for details on this you can email your region liaison or email the MAEA membership secretary if you don’t know who your region liaison is. This year we will be using Google Slides for works to be adjudicated for the State Show.  Please see details below and please see flowchart.

Women in Modern East Asia: Understanding their Challenges and Successes

From the mid-19th century on, East Asian women’s lives have been marked by modernizations, imperialism, revolutions, warfare, and new roles in the workforce and within the family home. Women claimed their autonomies and rights through different avenues, be it liberalization, feminism, and the idea of the “new” or “modern” woman. Various state initiatives uplifted and/or appropriated women, affecting their day-to-day lives. This summer institute offers secondary teachers the opportunity to work with scholars and specialists and investigate primary sources to better understand Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Taiwanese women’s voices and experiences. What were their challenges and successes across time and place in modern East Asia?
