Troubling Binaries, Imagining Futurities
We currently exist in a context that compels people to “take sides” in a wide range of scenarios. These circumstances both create and compel emotional responses that enforce these “sides” and create binary logics that may inscribe oppressive structures. Inspired by women of color (WoC) feminisms and their potential for troubling binary thinking, we explore structural feminisms theorized by BIPOC women scholars and consider what this multifaceted …
Interrogating “Spartan Strong”
Following a school shooting that left three students dead and five critically injured, Michigan State University (MSU) deployed the expression “Spartan Strong” in response to this violence to signal resilience and the desire for “normalcy.” As a faculty member and graduate student at MSU, we were troubled by this expression. In this paper, we interrogate it for its embeddedness in neoliberal resilience discourse. We explore our unease with Sparta…
Troubling Transcultural Practices
Transcultural pedagogy, or what is often described as world music pedagogy, in U.S. and Canadian classrooms often utilizes an extractive logic, serving to essentialize culture, invisibilize logics that are incongruent to European, Canadian, and U.S.-centric epistemologies, and uphold the goal of white assimilation under the guise of multiculturalism.As former K-12 music educators, now in higher education, we worry about the potential for music te…

Recent qualitative research appearing in the JRME has demonstrated a nuanced focus on the relevance of race and gender and marginalized perspectives within music education. This led us to question whether quantitative research in the JRME reflects simil…
Lived Experiences of Adult Caregiver “Nonmusicians” and “Nonsingers” in Early Childhood Music Classes
Many adults do not see themselves as musical, and about 17% believe they are tone deaf. People who identify as tone deaf often believe this condition is congenital and permanent and prevents them from ever singing accurately. In many early childhood music (ECM) classes, adults participate as musical models, interacting with their children by moving, chanting, vocalizing, and singing. Using phenomenological inquiry, we explored the lived experienc…
