Music Education,
Genderally Speaking
hosted by Stephanie Gregoire
This a podcast series that explores topics of gender and sexuality in music education, hosted by Stephanie Gregoire. It consists of conversations with music scholars and educators ranging from gender-inclusive pedagogical techniques and policy to self-discovery and learning through vulnerability and open discussion. Since our language surrounding these topics is ever evolving, please note that terms used in this podcast may not match what is current at the time of your listening. I also recognize that we may not all agree on how to handle these sensitive topics and situations, but I encourage you to listen with open minds and open hearts. Enjoy the show!
