Dr. Holland is a Professor of Art and Design Education and Fine Arts in UC's College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning.

His recent work includes invited lextures at the School of Visual Arts and New York University, as well as the coauthored book Jean Baudrillard and Radical Education Theory.
