Chairperson and Professor
Art and Design Education
Professor and Chairperson Aileen Wilson is an art and design educator, K-12 teacher educator, and researcher. Aileen received her MA in Printmaking and Painting at the Chelsea School of Art in London, then obtained an EdD in Art/Art Education at Teachers College Columbia University. Her work is focused on the contextual challenges that influence high school students' art college-going decisions and has been supported by 2011–2012, 2019-2020 and 2022-2023 Fulbright Specialist Grants and a 2013–2014 National Art Education Foundation Research Award. In 2013, in order to provide underserved New York City teens attending public schools with greater access to high-quality studio-based instruction in art and design, she launched - as a member of a faculty-led-team - the Pratt Young Scholars, a college access program, now housed in the Center K-12.
