You are not going to want to miss this talk from Montpelier’s favorite ethnomusicologist, Christiana Athena-Blackwell. She will discuss her passion for culturally responsive teaching and how this is playing out right now, in these very turbulent times. Her book, Culturally Responsive Teaching in a High School Percussion Ensemble (Validating Immigrant Identities) is its own deep dive on the topic, and she will reference that content in her talk. Bring your thinking cap to this one!
