S1. E20. CAST CHAT
May 26, 2021

EPISODE DESCRIPTION:
In this cast chat, the team amplifies the conversations from the Disruption. Action. Change. series hosted by the Eastman School of Music Institute for Music Leadership and the University of Michigan EXCEL lab. We discuss the politicization of ADEI work, centering human narratives as a way of connecting human experiences, repositioning Black musics as the basis for American music in curricula and programming, investigating the role of capitalism in upholding systems of oppression, self-educating in the use of appropriate—and current—language and concepts, and using our privileges to shield and to support our colleagues who don’t benefit from the same privileges.
