Abstract
The PhoeNX Ensemble-Memorial University composition course offers a case study of university-level pedagogical, intercultural music-making and its potential to engage the question of how music education can help to address existing racial and cultural tensions in society. During the course, racial and cultural concerns surfaced when participants negotiated their individual positionalities. An analysis of the multifaceted interactions demonstrates how this composition course exemplifies a meaningful and valuable path toward inclusive and anti-racist pedagogy in the Canadian classroom. Such approaches can address cultural misunderstanding and social injustice in the university context.
Résumé
Le cours de composition « Ensemble PhoeNX » de l’Université Memorial permet une étude de cas de production musicale pédagogique et interculturelle au niveau universitaire, qui a le potentiel d’aborder la question de la façon dont l’enseignement musical peut contribuer à traiter des tensions raciales et culturelles existant dans la société. Durant ce cours, des préoccupations raciales et culturelles sont apparues lorsque les participant.e.s ont négocié leur position individuelle. Une analyse de ces interactions complexes montre en quoi ce cours de composition constitue un exemple d’un cheminement significatif et appréciable vers une pédagogie inclusive et antiraciste dans une salle de classe au Canada. De telles approches peuvent répondre à l’incompréhension culturelle et à l’injustice sociale en contexte universitaire.
