In this episode of the Community Music Learning IJCM Conversation Series, hosts Alicia de Bánffy-Hall and Roger Mantie engage with Deanna Yerichuk, Associate Professor at Wilfrid Laurier University, to explore the transformative power of community music. Deanna shares her journey from a community-focused upbringing to her current role in music education and research, highlighting the importance of participatory music in fostering social change. The discussion delves into the historical roots of community music, its role in cultural integration, and the complexities of inclusivity within the field.
Our guest: "Deanna Yerichuk has dedicated her academic and music career to community-engaged social change. Through her Ph.D. in Music Education (University of Toronto), she investigated the emergence of Canada’s community music schools in the early twentieth century, and is currently working on a monograph. At Wilfrid Laurier University since 2017, Dr. Yerichuk also investigates contemporary issues of inclusion and justice in cross-cultural collaborations through music, leading several projects funded by Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council Canada. She has earned several awards, including the SOCAN Foundation Award for Writings on Canadian Music, and the Early Career Researcher Award (Wilfrid Laurier University). As an Associate Professor, Dr. Yerichuk coordinates the Community Music BMus and MA programs at Wilfrid Laurier University in Canada, and directs the research centre Laurier Centre for Music in the Community." - https://yerichuk.com/about
