Review | Book Rethinking Music Education and Social Change, by Alexandra Kertz-Welzel
INET-md researcher, Graça Mota, recently published a review of the book Rethinking Music Education and Social Change (2021, OUP), by Alexandra Kertz-Welzel.
In difficult times, during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Graça Mota engaged with the thoughts of Alexandra Kertz-Welzel through the book Rethinking Music Education and Social Change. For Mota, this experience proved to be both a blessing and a profound exercise in reflection. By examining Kertz-Welzel’s text, Mota not only presents the theoretical foundations outlined by Kertz-Welzel but also scrutinises its intrinsic goals and offers critical considerations on the potential contribution of Music Education to societal transformation. Graça Mota’s work promises to be an enlightening read for those seeking to understand the dynamic and impactful role of Music Education in the challenging context of current geopolitical events.
The book review was included in the new number of the scientific magazine Philosophy of Music Education Review, and is available on-line, through the platform Project MUSE.
