Week 2 Materials

Picture
We encourage you to read the following materials to participate fully in the discussion, Music Therapy articles can be accessed via AMTA membership--however we are currently discussing with the authors for permission to distribute articles to partipants' emails upon registration for the discussion:
  1. Darrow, A.A. & Molloy, D. (1998).  Multicultural perspectives in music therapy: An examination of the literature, educational curricula, and clinical practices in culturally diverse cities of the United States. Music Therapy Perspectives, 16, 27-32
  2. AND Susan Hadley, PhD, MT-BC, Marisol S. Norris, MA, MT-BC, Musical Multicultural Competency in Music Therapy: The First Step, Music Therapy Perspectives, Volume 34, Issue 2, 2016, Pages 129–137.
    1. Since 1998, as current students or new interns--has your school implemented cultural and race education in their curriculum?
    2. How is it addressed? (frequency throughout course material, seminar, specific class assigned to the topic, etc)
    3. How has race and cultural education been addressed in your schooling--throughout your life?
    4. Why is "diversity" not enough--what do you think is required in an academic setting to foster anti-racism, equity, and authentic representation for all people?
  3. Why Color-Blindness Is Counterproductive by Adia Harvey Wingfield​
    1. What is inevitably not okay with the idea of “color blindness?”
    2. What does color consciousness mean to you?
    3. What does it mean to be culturally humble over being culturally competent?
    4. Within our bubble of Music Therapy, what can we as current students/recent interns ask our MT departments to do curriculum wise to ensure we’re actually learning to be culturally competent--or as said wonderfully in our first discussion by a participant, culturally humble?
  4. I'm Going to Mess Up...and That's Not Going to Stop Me by Chantal Pierrat
    1. What are your initial reactions to this piece?
    2. How do you balance out speaking out on the issues while not speaking for BIPOC's (Black, Indigenous, People of Color)?
    3. How are you digesting the quote by Saroful: "If it's not about you, don't make it about you. If it is about you, do better" in context of the article?​
