We seek a colleague who will work collaboratively within the music education community and the Faculty of Music, and who will contribute in developing connections in the public, community, and cultural sectors within Toronto and beyond. A candidate who thinks critically and can imagine multiple futures for music educators will further our endeavor to produce rigorous and theoretically grounded research in music education, develop and foster a space of belonging for a diverse body of students and musical practices, think creatively about different musical and educational pathways, and guide students to the conceptual understanding and practical knowledge that will sustain their musical lives.
