He is part of the core research\/teaching team for the <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.google.com\/miamioh.edu\/myaamia-arts-culture-education\">Myaamia Arts &#038; Culture Education Partnership<\/a>. His research attends to the cultivation of critical sensitivities to the material qualities of digital and physical places of arts learning. In this work, he draws upon critical and performative digital materialisms, and critical and anticolonial readings of place and place-making. Through these lenses, he examines the habits of attention youth bring to the material histories, politics, and embodied interactions of the digital places they participate in and create. Prior to his doctoral studies, Meeken was a high school digital and traditional media art teacher, and was the lead curriculum designer for Virginia Commonwealth University\u2019s CurrentLab project. He also developed and taught summer programming with the Smithsonian, exploring critical and creative potentials of digital materials with middle and high school students, for ten years.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gildedgreen.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/meeken-Teaching-Philosophy.pdf\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-338 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/gildedgreen.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/room-rotate.gif\" alt=\"philosophy\" width=\"525\" height=\"120\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<b><a href=\"https:\/\/gildedgreen.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/meeken-Teaching-Philosophy.pdf\">Dimensions of Dialogue in Places of Learning<\/a><\/b> &#8211; 2021<br \/>\nBrief statement of intent with respect to teaching and art.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gildedgreen.com\/maecomic\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-335 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/gildedgreen.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/heroes.jpg\" alt=\"heroes\" width=\"525\" height=\"154\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gildedgreen.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/heroes.jpg 525w, https:\/\/gildedgreen.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/heroes-300x88.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gildedgreen.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/heroes-232x68.jpg 232w, https:\/\/gildedgreen.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/heroes-464x136.jpg 464w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gildedgreen.com\/maecomic\/\">We Can Be Heroes<\/a><\/b> &#8211; 2011<br \/>\nNon-linear, interactive, autobiographical puzzle-comic about teaching, art, and heroes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gildedgreen.com\/main\/?p=337\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-338 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/gildedgreen.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/philosophy.gif\" alt=\"philosophy\" width=\"525\" height=\"120\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<b><a href=\"https:\/\/gildedgreen.com\/main\/?p=337\">The Art Classroom as a Space for Dialogue<\/a><\/b> &#8211; 2012<br \/>\nBrief (old) statement of intent with respect to teaching art.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gildedgreen.com\/main\/?p=347\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-348 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/gildedgreen.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/intersubjective.jpg\" alt=\"intersubjective\" width=\"525\" height=\"110\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gildedgreen.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/intersubjective.jpg 525w, https:\/\/gildedgreen.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/intersubjective-300x63.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gildedgreen.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/intersubjective-232x49.jpg 232w, https:\/\/gildedgreen.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/intersubjective-464x97.jpg 464w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<b><a href=\"https:\/\/gildedgreen.com\/main\/?p=347\">Art and Intersubjectivity, a Theoretical Framework<\/a><\/b> &#8211; 2011<br \/>\nIn which I lash together an edifice made out of other people&#8217;s ideas in which to place my artistic and teaching practice.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gildedgreen.com\/main\/?p=367\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-385\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-385\" src=\"https:\/\/gildedgreen.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/oniostatement.jpg\" alt=\"oniostatement\" width=\"525\" height=\"108\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gildedgreen.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/oniostatement.jpg 525w, https:\/\/gildedgreen.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/oniostatement-300x62.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gildedgreen.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/oniostatement-232x48.jpg 232w, https:\/\/gildedgreen.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/oniostatement-464x95.jpg 464w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<b><a href=\"https:\/\/gildedgreen.com\/main\/?p=367\">Statement: Art as Onion<\/a><\/b> &#8211; 2004<br \/>\nA statement of purpose from the end of 2004.
