My research critically examines the philosophies, histories, and politics of music education in the U.S., focusing on how power and inequity shape practices often assumed to be good, creative, or inclusive. I also draw upon my background in education activism to examine how teachers respond to systemic injustice through activism and pedagogy.
My work has been published in journals such as Philosophy of Music Education Review, Action, Criticism, and Theory for Music Education, Music Educators Journal, Rethinking Schools, Berkeley Review of Education, General Music Today, TOPICS for Music Education Praxis, and Critical Education. I have also contributed chapters to edited volumes including Purposes and Places of Popular Music Education, The HipHopEd Compilation, and Teacher Unions and Social Justice, and regularly present at national and international conferences.
My recent publications include:
Modernity and Music Education: Constructing the Child, the Future, and Orff-Schulwerk
The Rationality of Protest: A Foucauldian Analytics of Teacher Activism
