About the talk
For some people, “leisure” can be a polarizing word. For the Ancient Greeks, however, leisure was the practice that in so many ways defined the art of existence. In this talk, Prof. Mantie problematizes the notion of leisure in relation to the espoused and enacted values and practices of music education. Drawing upon his previous research and scholarship on music and lifelong engagement, his presentation responds to the question: What might music education look like through the lenses of leisure?
