While learning about Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, I took a deep look into the world of classical music.  As a classically trained pianist, I have always enjoyed the music that I have played, but never really thought about the how the genre featured only composers of one gender and one color.  Is a person's gender or color reflected in their music? 

For a class on Instructional Design, I created a presentation on the Transformative Learning Theory.  This theory is described as the critical awareness of unconscious suppositions or expectations and the evaluation of their relevance for making an interpretation. 

With a group of classmates, we created a presentation on the design theory, Backwards Design.  As a musician I work from the end to the beginning a lot, Backwards Design is one way I like to work when designing courses.
