Routledge Listening Across Borders: Musicology in the Global Classroom (Modern Musicology and the College Classroom)

Listening Across Borders: Musicology in the Global Classroom provides readers with the tools and techniques for integrating a global approach to music history―within the framework of the roots, challenges, and benefits of internationalization―into the modern music curriculum. Contributors from around the world offer strategies for empowering students to critique the economic, ideological, and political structures that propagate global challenges. Applicable in a variety of classroom settings, the internationalized teaching methods collected here suggest fruitful ways forward in a global age, in three parts: Creating Global Citizens Teaching with Case Studies of Intercultural Encounters Challenges and Opportunities In revaluating the role of higher education in a cosmopolitan world, modern educators have come to question the limits of geographically-defined canons, traditional curricular content, and other longstanding teaching approaches. Listening Across Borders places the music history classroom at the center of the conversation about internationalization in higher education, embracing pedagogies that develop the skillsets to become global citizens in a world where international cooperation is increasingly essential.
