Interviewer

Peter Duffy

Interviewee

Toby Jenkins

Description

Creative performances and co-construction of knowledge between audience and artist, educator and student can help to disrupt conventions that pressure educators and students to constrict both learning and themselves. Centered in the power of hip-hop culture and spoken word poetry, this session will facilitate a dialogue on the viability of “knowledge of self,” creative expression, and performance poetry as tools of liberatory learning.
