Music Education @ UMass Lowell: December 2008

Pauline Sameshima's research and art-making center on looking at both the official and the hidden curriculum. She is interested in learning system designs, technology integration, collaborative and creative scholarship, eco-responsive pedagogies, and alternative forms of knowledge production and acknowledgment.

Pauline teaches math methods for elementary teachers, arts integration, and curriculum theory. She is an exhibiting multi-media artist, lyricist, and designer. Her artwork has been included in three editions of Night of Artists Biographies and Works, a Canadian publication archived at the National Gallery of Canada. She combines her professional interests with her experience teaching elementary public school for 17 years with five years in administration.
