Please join us next Friday, April 28th at 4pm CT with your cup of tea! ☺️🍵🫖

This virtual symposium will discuss emerging work being done by Asian American graduate students in music research. 

Featuring U of I Doctor of Musical Arts in Jazz Piano Performance student, Joy Yang, as well as graduate students Scott Oshiro (Stanford), Noah Rosen (Columbia) and Kei Terauchi (SF state). The panel is moderated by Deborah Wong from University of California, Riverside, and the convenor is Francis Wong (SF State).

We will discuss topics such as decolonizing research practices, theories, and frameworks along with creating work not meant for the “white gaze”. The mission of this panel is to promote the invited panelists’ own research and connect it to a larger landscape of work being done by Asian American researchers in the field. Discussing it all over a cup of tea! 

Our objective is to encourage the next generation of BIPOC researchers to give power back to the music by establishing canon-changing research and taking control of our own narrative that has been appropriated and institutionalized by white academia. The invited panelists will present and discuss their work as a means to promote the work being done and build awareness and support among scholars, artists, and community activists.
