Themina Kader is Assistant Professor of Art Education at the
University of Wisconsin Oshkosh. Her primary research interest is in
the field of material culture studies in art education, and its practical
application to professional development of art teachers. Her own
diverse background (Indian/Muslim), heritage and long experience of
teaching art in Kenyan schools provides the impetus for her other
professional interest, multicultural art education. Her academic and
pedagogic endeavours conflate with her own artworks, which she has
exhibited extensively in Kenya, England, Germany and the United
States.
