CHS Think. Teach. Do. Seminar Series - [Music] Education is a Matter of Public Health: Stacking Notes for Resilience.

Join us in welcoming Dr. Kính T. Vũ, Assistant Professor of Music at Boston University where he teaches music education and fine arts courses such as general music methods, instrumental music lab, and intra-disciplinary arts seminars. During a recent sabbatical, Kính began to theorize how salvation narratives are embedded into transnational/transracial adoption and music education, particularly for Asian American adoptees who are music teachers. Kính is the subject of a one-hour documentary called Song of Earthroot (2023) in which he speaks and sings about the conundrum of simultaneously identifying as Asian, American, Asian American, and none of these whatsoever. Along with Dr. André de Quadros (CFA), Kính was lead editor of the first-ever text on forced human displacement within music education fields called My Body Was Left on the Street: Music Education and Displacement (Brill–Sense 2020).
