Led by Julian Saporiti, doctoral candidate in Ethnomusicology and director of the Arts Initiative Songwriters Workshop at Brown University; and Erin Aoyama, doctoral candidate in American Studies at Brown University

Sponsored by Penn State College of Education, Department of Asian Studies, Center for Pedagogy in Arts and Design (C-PAD), and the Arts and Design Research Incubator (ADRI)

With an emphasis on arts-based research, Saporiti and Aoyama will discuss the ways in which they use music to process their research and family legacies through the multimedia concert No-No Boy. They will break down a few of their pieces, illustrating the process of turning research into songwriting, and how this method affects teaching.

This workshop is free and open to the public, but registration is required: https://nonoboy-experience.eventbrite.com
