His work crosses race and mass incarceration, peacebuilding, forced migration, Islamic culture, and public health. He directs choirs and choral projects in Indonesia, Sri Lanka, the United States, Israel and the Arab world, and the Mexico-U.S. border. In 2019, he was a Distinguished Academic Visitor at the University of Cambridge.

DEGREE / NON-DEGREE / AUDIT – What’s the difference? Degree
For students who have met all application requirements and are seeking a MAME degree in the Graduate Music Department. Non-Degree This option may be of interest to students with a desire to pursue graduate study but not necessarily obtain a degree. Enrolling in one or more courses at the non-degree status will provide contact with faculty members and an opportunity to evaluate whether the program’s offerings match a student’s needs, interests, and abilities. Up to six (6) credits taken as a non-degree student may be applied if a student decides to enroll in the full MAME program. Audit 2- or 3-credit courses may be audited. Auditors pay reduced tuition rates based on a percentage formula. If a student audits a class, they cannot receive graduate credit. Students who audit Kodály or Orff Schulwerk Levels are still eligible to receive the Certificate if they audit the courses.
