Description
The Oxford Handbook of Feminism and Music Education brings together a wide range of international scholars, practicing music teachers and educators, policymakers, and community musicians to conceptualize, analyze, and critique the personal, social, cultural, political, ethical, and therapeutic practices and problems in music education through feminist perspectives. The book offers global critical perspectives on a wide range of conceptual and practical issues in music education as they apply to various forms of feminist perspectives in music teaching and learning within schools and communities.The central aims of this volume are to engage with readers' understandings of and critical thinking about feminist perspectives on the problems, opportunities, and "spaces and places" that music educators and community music facilitators encounter, and to elucidate the concepts and practical strategies they employ to improve various aspects of music teaching and learning around the world through feminist lenses. This book helps current and future music educators, community music facilitators, arts and music activists, and solidarity workers to understand the many varieties and potentials of music teaching and learning, as described by the world-renowned scholars and practitioners in this book. It further invites readers to consider how traditional forms of musical pedagogies can be transformed in ways that will make them more mindful of and empathetic toward the personal and musical aims and desires of music students, musicians, and musical communities and collectives. This book will be of interest to teachers, scholars, administrators, advocates, and solidarity workers who wish to redefine, refine, and redesign music teaching and learning practices.
