Inclusive Teaching Includes You Too: Teacher Value in a Student-Centered World

Thursday, January 20, 2022 - 1:00pm to 2:30pm
Online in Zoom

In our quest to be student-centered, we can end up making choices that overwhelm us with their unsustainability. That is, it's easier to be a "sage on the stage" than it is to meet students where they are. In this session, we'll discuss how to stay student-centered while avoiding burnout.

Book Club: The Race of Sound: Listening, Timbre, and Vocality in African American Music By Nina Sun Eidsheim

Thursday, September 30, 2021 - 4:00pm to Thursday, October 28, 2021 - 5:30pm
Online in Zoom

How do perceptions of race, gender, vocal technique, and timbre influence the ways in which a listener engages with music? How does a listener answer the question “Who is Singing?” when they cannot see the singer? By focusing on the listener (rather than the sound producer), Eidsheim’s The Race of Sound addresses these questions by investigating the ways in which Black American singers have been interpreted and misinterpreted in a variety of musical styles, including opera, jazz, and synthesized music.
