The Routledge Companion to Ethics and Research in Ethnomusicology
The Routledge Companion to Ethics and Research in Ethnomusicology is an in-depth survey of the moral challenges and imperatives of conducting research on people making music. It focuses on fundamental and compelling ethical questions that have challenged and shaped both the history of this discipline and its current practices. In 26 representative cases from across a broad spectrum of geographical, societal, and musical environments, authors collectively reflect on the impacts of ethnomusicological research, exploring the ways our work may instantiate privilege or risk bringing harm, as well as the means that are available to provide recognition, benefit, and reciprocation to the musicians a...
Inclusive Music Histories: Leading Change through Research and Pedagogy
Inclusive Music Histories: Leading Change through Research and Pedagogy models effective practices for researchers and instructors striving either to reform music history curricula at large or update individual topics within their classes to be more inclusive. Confronting racial and other imbalances of Western music history, the author develops four core principles that enable a shift in thinking to create a truly intersectional music history narrative and provides case studies that can be directly applied in the classroom. The book addresses inclusivity issues in the discipline of musicology by outlining imbalances encoded into the canonic repertory, pedagogy, and historiography of the field. This book offers comprehensive teaching tools that instructors can use at all stages of course design, from syllabus writing and lecture planning to discussion techniques, with assignments for each of the subject matter case studies. Inclusive Music Histories enables instructors to go beyond token representation to a more nuanced music history pedagogy.

Contemporary Musical Expressions in Canada
Music and dance in Canada today are diverse and expansive, reflecting histories of travel, exchange, and interpretation and challenging conceptions of expressive culture that are bounded and static. Reflecting current trends in ethnomusicology, Contemporary Musical Expressions in Canada examines cultural continuity, disjuncture, intersection, and interplay in music and dance across the country. Essays reconsider conceptual frameworks through which cultural forms are viewed, critique policies meant to encourage crosscultural sharing, and address ways in which traditional forms of expression have changed to reflect new contexts and audiences. From North Indian kathak dance, Chinese lion dance,...

Never Going Back
Coming from a life of brokenness and abuse, Dylan came to a crossroads in his life and had to choose between going down the path set before him or to accept the hope and love of Jesus Christ. Once he experienced Jesus for the first time, he knew it was what he had always been looking for. Life didn't get easier after accepting Christ, but the purpose and fulfillment that came with living in Christ was a life he never thought was possible. This book is about how God took a broken kid, born on the wrong side of the tracks, and redeemed him in a way he never thought possible. Dylan now travels all over the country preaching about the Good News that can save their lives as well and also inspire others in their own faith. Dylan chose and continues to choose to keep moving forward and to never go back to his old life, and he believes that God desires everyone to continue to grow in their faith rather than becoming stagnant. What will you choose?
