Amidst the failure of federal responses, e.g., NCLB, to reach students by operating at the school level, this dissertation explores the viability of a campaign to reach each individual student and mobilize and empower them as agents in their own STEM learning. At an alternative high school serving predominantly at-risk underrepresented students evicted from mainstream education, I implemented Fractal Village, a critical/computational/constructionist-pedagogy (C3) learning environment of my design.

As Music Editor for the Voice, he had come up with the Consumer Guide format back in 1969. His original format was twenty records, each accorded a single-paragraph review ending with a letter grade. His domain was rock and roll, but his taste and interests ranged widely, so his CGs regularly featured country, blues, folk, reggae, jazz, and later world (especially African), hip-hop, and electronica. Aside from two years off working for Newsday (when his Consumer Guide was published monthly in Creem), the Voice published his columns more-or-less monthly up to 2006, when new owners purged most of the Senior Editors. Since then he's continued writing in the format for a series of Webzines -- MSN Music, Medium,

  • Music, Resistance, and Citizenship in African Canadian Poetry
    SOUNDIN’ CANAAN: Music, Resistance, and Citizenship in African Canadian Poetry by Paul Watkins A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Literary Studies/Theatre Studies in English Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Paul Watkins, 2015 ABSTRACT SOUNDIN’ CANAAN: MUSIC, RESISTSANCE, AND CITIZENSHIP IN AFRICAN CANADIAN LITERATURE Paul Watkins Advisor: University of Guelph, 2015 Professor Ajay Heble Idealistically, citizenship—like music—is not confined to any single space. Soundin’ Canaan (Canaan, as Canada was often referred to in spirituals during the Black migration to Canada) draws from a cross-fertilization of communicative techniques to examine how citizenship is explored by African Canadian poets’ resistive soundings. The dissertation investigates how many African Canadian poets draw from African American and pan-African musical forms (including blues, jazz, hip-hop, reggae, dub, and other improvisatory practices) in order to remap the concept of identity and citizenship within intercultural (or multicultural) spaces. I ask: what does Canadian citizenship sound like, particularly as voiced by African Canadian poets interested in a fluid citizenship that moves, like music, between local and global spaces? By looking at Canadian literature in a more global cross-cultural and interdisciplinary context and focusing, as Ajay Heble does in his article “Sounds of Change: Dissonance, History, and Cultural Listening,” on the values of dissonant histories “not in harmony” as a meaningful disturbance to knowledge production in Canada, my dissertation investigates poetic fluidity between African Canadian multimodal practices (particularly orality and music) and those of African Americans and the larger African diaspora.
