BACKGROUND

Randall Everett Allsup, Ed. D. Randall Everett Allsup, Ed.D. is Associate Professor of Music and Music Education at Teachers College Columbia University in the City of New York. He holds a dual appointment as Professor of Music Education at the Arts College of Xiamen University, Xiamen City, Fujian Province, China. Randall earned degrees in music performance and music education from Northwestern University and Columbia University. His doctoral thesis, Crossing Over: Mutual Learning and Democratic Action in Instrumental Music Education was awarded “Outstanding Dissertation of the Year” by the Council on Research in Music Education. In 2009, he was awarded a Fulbright grant to teach and conduct research at the Sibelius Academy, Helsinki, Finland. Randall is the recipient of the Outstanding Teaching Award at Teachers College.

With over 50 research publications and a book from Indiana University Press (2016) titled Remixing the classroom: Toward an open philosophy of music education, Randall has served on the editorial board of top tier journals such as the Bulletin of the Council for Research in Music Education, Journal of Research in Music Education, Music Educators Journal, Music Education Research, Philosophy of Music Education Review, and Research Studies in Music Education. He is past chair of the International Society for the Philosophy of Music Education (ISPME) and the Philosophy Special Research Interest Group (SRIG) of the Music Education Research Council. Randall is the proud sponsor of 23 dissertations at Teachers College.

Randall grew up among the cornfields of central Illinois, outside of Kankakee, and was the first in his family to graduate from college. Armed with a Pell grant and plenty of student loans, he attended Northwestern University as a saxophone major, studying with the legendary Fred Hemke, and later with Jean-Marie Londeix at the Bordeaux Conservatory, France. Randall’s interests in issues surrounding social justice and democracy were sharpened by coursework with Maxine Greene at Teachers College and his work in schools in under-resourced neighborhoods of New York City, teaching music at Cardinal Hayes High School in the South Bronx and through the Our Children’s Foundation in west Harlem. In 2006, Randall hosted and organized the first-ever “International Conference on Music Education, Equity, and Social Justice” at Teachers College. Today, he remains a passionate advocate of the transformative affects of public schooling and arts education.

Randall writes about the challenges of reconceptualizing music pedagogy, with a special interest instrumental and popular music. His teaching and scholarship is shaped by great thinkers like Maxine Greene, Paulo Freire, and John Dewey. His articles appear in Bulletin of the Council for Research in Music Education; Philosophy of Music Education Review; Theory into Practice; Music Education Research; Music Educators Journal; Bluegrass Music News; School Music News; Visions of Research in Music Education; Teaching Music; Action, Criticism, and Theory for Music Education; Nordic Research in Music Education; Finnish Journal of Music Education; British Journal of Music Education; and Journal of Research in Music Education.
