Their paper, The Dynamics of Social Exclusion and Economic Mobility Across Three Decades of Undergraduate Arts Alumni, describes an attrition effect of students leaving the arts and privilege effect of arts alumni whose individual earnings are supported by larger household income. They introduced an intersectionality matrix of the various contributors to lower representation and greater economic precarity of artists and arts workers. The SNAAP Research Symposium brings together researchers, administrators, faculty members, students, and policymakers to learn about recent research using the rich Strategic National Arts Alumni Project database curated by Indiana University Center for Postsecondary Research.
