DECOLONIZING DESIRES AND UNSETTLING MUSICOLOGY: A SETTLER'S PERSONAL STORY OF RESEARCHING AND TEACHING INDIGENOUS MUSIC AT AN AMERICAN UNIVERSITY
2019
For those of us with decolonial desires, the university classroom is a potential space of disruption and reorganization. Our courses, course materials, teaching tools, students, and our own bodies and minds are all technologies that can subvert the colonial machine (la paperson 2017). In the first section, I contextualize my decolonial desires as a non-U.S.-citizen settler Canadian musicologist in the United States. The work of David Garneau, Aileen Moreton-Robinson, Andrea Smith, Eve Tuck, and K. Wayne Yang illuminates my positionality and power. In the second section, I provide an example of one way I'm disrupting the typical curricula and classroom experiences in a Euro-American classical music school. I discuss my course entitled \"North American Indigenous Music Seminar\" (NAIMS), including the course structure and content, and decolonizing strategies. Student responses to interviews about the course are interspersed with the discussion of my seminar plans and challenges to claims of \"decolonization.\" Their responses reveal some successes and many limits for anti-colonial and decolonial work in a single-semester course.

Helping hands needed for Christmas Spirit Campaign
2013
\"We are definitely looking for volunteers, the first big event is on Dec. 5 (tonight) - the Royal Lepage Food Drive,\" said Andrea Robinson, Christmas Spirit Campaign coordinator. \"That involves people knocking on doors for donations all over town and bringing it back to campaign headquarters. \"Saturday, Dec. 7, is our teen/tween day. This day is garnered for youth ages 14 and under to help towards volunteering. This will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and they'll basically be helping in sorting food and presents.\" Another big day is Saturday, Dec. 14, \"That's hamper day,\" Robison said. \"We're going to need volunteers for that day as well. That's when we actually put all the hampers together and last year we had over 200 families, so we're basically talking about 800 or 900 boxes of food we have to put together. That's our really big day, and then we deliver on Dec. 23.\"

Demolition continues to draw residents' ire; Crane expected to be fixed Thursday
2012
TIFFIN - Standing in a light rain Wednesday, Andrea Robinson and her 9-year-old son, Logan, watched as two excavators ripped apart Seneca County's historic courthouse. \"It makes me feel sick,\" said Mrs. Robinson, who moved to Tiffin seven years ago. \"I can't believe that the people that live here, that are from here can't see the importance of it.\" Dust billowed from the rubble despite the rain and a steady spray of water onto the work area. The excavator bit off pieces of the courthouse then sifted through the debris to sort into piles the large pieces of sandstone and various scrap metal - structural beams, window frames, radiators. Dick Distel of Tiffin was disgusted by the sight. Though he had plenty of criticism for Seneca County Commissioners Jeff Wagner and Ben Nutter, who both pushed for demolition, he conceded the problem started well before they took office. \"It's really not these commissioners. It was the ones ahead of them that didn't take care of it,\" Mr. Distel said. \"I really think it could've been saved. Oh well.
