A2RU Intervals, 2019
The Case for Arts Integration is a tool for connecting across campus, outlining the “what,” “why,” and “how” of arts integration. While this book shows how arts integration can function on campus, and its range of impacts, the case it makes is broad and all-encompassing. On many campuses, a few faculty or staff are champions of arts integration. This book is designed to help them build broader support for arts integration at many levels, including among university leadership. Each university will want to define what arts integration looks like for them and how it fits into their unique cultural landscape.

Like all A2RU’s programs, The Case for Arts Integration is grounded in research and developed through integration and synthesis. This resource supports the work of arts integration on-campus, and draws on insights gathered from over 600 interviews with academic leaders, institutional officers, faculty, staff, and students at over 60 research universities. The A2RU research team systematically reviews these insights for evidence of the positive impacts, successful patterns, best practices, recurring challenges, and salient stories of arts integration.

A companion workbook, The Case for Arts Integration: Workbook, is also available as a hands-on tool designed to help you map how the arts and arts integration advances your university’s mission.

A2RU Intervals, 2019
This workbook provides an introduction to the insights and questions commonly encountered by A2RU and its research university partners. The goal is to help enable better sensemaking and case-making activities around arts integration, what it means, and how it will unfold on your campus.

This workbook is designed to help you in case-making, developing a workshop, or as a common framework for benchmarking. Properly applied, the workbook will save weeks of work, provide structure and clarity for your group’s work, accelerate your ability to assemble exemplary case-making materials, and raise the quality of your messaging.

This workbook is a companion to The Case for Arts Integration book, which is recommended as a reference and source of inspiration.

Implicit/Explicit
Stephanie Gioia
A2RU Intervals, 2018
A2RU research, aligned with previous scholarship, notes the need to render explicit the unspoken expectations, assumptions, and definitions involved in the reappointment, tenure, and promotion process. The Implicit/Explicit card deck is a hands-on tool to assist teams who are charged with tenure and promotion policy to accomplish this very task. Developed for and tested in our Tenure and Promotion Workshops, the deck also helps reveal latent biases that may affect equity and inclusion efforts.

Play reveals which elements of an institution’s reappointment, tenure, and promotion practices are explicitly addressed in policy and which remain tacit, and helps players recognize the cultural biases present in institutional norms, processes, and policies when they are not made explicit. Additionally, the color-coded cards helps participants identify the roles and processes that are most relevant to them.
