MU 805

Racism, poverty, ageism, phobias, and other forms of social injustices can be addressed and explored through music-making and activism, whether it be in songwriting, repertoire selection, public events where music plays a prominent role, websites, and many other areas. This seminar examines historical moments when music enhanced the protest megaphones and provided the energy and focus to enact justice. Students will be given opportunities to reflect their own research in collaborative contexts with peers and faculty.
