We will look at a study that Dr. Yeats published which used songs, lyrics, and poetry to express emotional reactions to inequity of people with different backgrounds such as: SES, race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, power differentials, lack of power, lifestyle choices, physical/emotional bullying, and colonialism. Specifically, we will look at the different data points (poetry, spoken work, or lyrics; lyric/poetry analysis; and interview transcriptions) and see how institutions can start and continue important conversations on inequities that are prevalent in their contexts.
