Three Songs for Social Justice: Reflections on Pedagogy, Process, and Impact

Speaker: Casey Fuess

How can high school students engage in critical action through music? In this session, Casey Fuess, a former high school choir teacher in Chicago Public Schools, will facilitate a discussion around three music videos that feature his choir students. Participants will watch the videos and then reflect on pedagogy, process, and impact. The three music videos were intended to respond, respectively, to an Illinois school funding crisis, the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando, and rising Islamaphobia.
