December 2, 2021 at 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM

Location:ZOOM Online
Audience:Alumni, Anyone, Carleton Community, Current Students, Faculty, Media, Prospective Students, Staff

This project seeks to reimagine the global music ensemble, diversifying repertoire, expanding arts disciplines and making it more accessible to students from a wide range of programs in Carleton’s Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. During the 2021-2022 academic year, the project will engage in consultation and dialogue with faculty and students in the Music program of the School for Studies in Art and Culture (SSAC), the Institute for African Studies (IAS), and across the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASS). The project will seek input and expertise from identified culture-bearers, ethnomusicologists and those leading global music ensembles in post-secondary educational settings. Identifying current strengths and challenges facing intercultural learning, the project will examine best practices towards respectful and equitable engagement with African music and other arts, related to identified pedagogical goals.
