Music Education at Memorial is pleased to welcome Beth Tuinstra (MA, BEd, BMus) as a new Assistant Professor of Music Education in the Faculty of Education at Memorial University of Newfoundland. Beth is committed to Indigenization and decolonization as a researcher and educator, and her teaching experiences at both K–12 and post-secondary levels have shaped her understanding of and commitment to creating inclusive and equitable learning environments for all students. Her experiences teaching K-12 in South Korea and Canada and at the undergraduate level in Canada highlighted the importance of clear communication and reflective and reflexive teaching practices to support diverse learners. Beth is currently completing her PhD studies in Music Education at Western University, and her PhD research focuses on the reclamation of Indigenous identity and culture for people with Indigenous ancestry. Through her experiences, Beth has gained a unique perspective of the intersection of culture, education, and identity.
As an educational community striving to be shaped by the paths to reconciliation, we welcome Beth Tuinstra’s presence and scholarship and look forward to learning with and from her.
