Chris Love has a Masters of Arts in Teaching from Tufts and has been an art educator at The Rivers School for the past 13 years. As someone who infuses identity into his artwork, he uses the studio as a low-risk space to teach life lessons; he strives to make all students feel seen, heard, respected, and protected. His passion for social justice comes out of necessity, and he hopes to give proximity and relevance to his facilitation by combining an experiential lens with art, history, and research. He assists in the professional development of other educators by facilitating identity and bias workshops at the Multicultural Teaching Institute and presenting at the National Art Educator Association conference on Curriculum with Criticality.
