Perspectives on Music, Education, and Diversity: A Festschrift Honoring Patricia Shehan Campbell

This book is a Festschrift in celebration of Patricia Shehan Campbell's impact for more than six decades as an eminent teacher-educator, musician and researcher in the fields of music education and ethnomusicology. Campbell's oeuvre of scholarly work is wide-ranging, spanning practical resources for music teachers to facilitate the teaching and learning of different musical cultures of the world, to diverse perspectives on the musical cultures of children, to the emblematic approach of World Music Pedagogy fleshed out in the Global Music Series with Oxford University Press, the Routledge World Music Pedagogy Series and her educational work with Smithsonian Folkways Recordings, alongside her extensive work with ethnomusicologists and community musicians and scholars across the world. Notable scholars from the fields of music education, ethnomusicology and community music, including Campbell's doctoral graduates and colleagues from across recent decades, are contributors in this Festschrift to reflect upon her scholarly work and critically dialogue on several topics: perceptions of diversity in school music and children's musical cultures, applied ethnomusicology, music education and its relation with the multicultural and social justice, pedagogical approaches towards cultural diversity in music and bridging communities and culture bearers.
