Title: Culturally Responsive Music Education
Description: Culturally responsive pedagogy was once a term few understood. Now its use is commonplace. However, the specific meaning of culturally responsive pedagogy, who gets to decide it, and the processes by which those decisions are determined is not as universal as some may imagine. This session challenges the overstated term culturally responsive pedagogy. It questions who owns the definition and how it is situated in school music. Topics considered include cultural appropriation, schoolification, saviorism, privilege, white guilt, artificiality, ghettoification, gentrification, methodolotry, refugeeism, tingeness, melting pots, bias, cultural domination, democracies, authority, power and margins.
Anthony DiRenzo, Writing Department
Title: If These Stones Could Speak: Rome's Most Famous Talking Statue and the Pasquinade Tradition
Description: Despite the convenience of Facebook and Twitter, contemporary Romans still prefer to post their comments on the base of public statues, a custom dating back to 1501. The most popular of these so-called "talking" statues is Pasquino, a mangled bust located in a small square off Piazza Navona. "Pasquinade," an English word meaning a lampoon in verse or prose, derives from his name.
Pasquinades is also the title of Dr. Anthony Di Renzo's forthcoming collection of essays on Rome, written from Pasquino's point of view. For our colloquium, Dr. Di Renzo will explain Pasquino's role as Rome's tribune of free speech and share an excerpt from his work.
Ali Erkan, Computer Science Department
Title: Some SLOs are Best Kept as Secrets
Description: There are moments we realize we have been conditioned into thinking that we are not good at X, whatever X may be. So what do we do when we have to teach X knowing some of our students have been conditioned as such? That worthy challenge is best addressed with secret SLOs that go on top of a layer of stealth teaching. (For transparency's sake, X=CompSci in this talk.)
