UW Music Education students and faculty have assembled a list of notable books on the subjects of diversity, equity and inclusion in the classroom and beyond.
"At a challenging time in the history of our American schools and society, professional music educators will do well to read and reflect upon issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion, especially as they are relevant to the reform of curricular design and instructional practice,” the program noted recently on its social media channels. "Summer reading recommendations follow, with many thanks to Chris Mena, Juliana Cantarelli Vita, Giuliana Conti, and Elisabeth Crabtree, and the UW Music Education faculty."
