Speaker’s note
In this presentation, we will briefly introduce the project as a whole, which has aimed to identify ways to strengthen musician and music teacher educators’ deep ecological systems awareness, eco-political change agency, and capacity to imagine. We will highlight the methodological choices we took to expand professional horizons by engaging musicians and music teacher educators in eco-political reflexive processes. We will report on some of our primary findings, which point to the tacit and explicit professional mental models which musicians and music teacher educators bring to their work in tertiary education.
