Dr. Myrtle D. Millares, Research Associate
Dr. Myrtle D. Millares is a classical pianist with an Honours BA in Philosophy, Music History/Theory, and French, and a Bachelor of Music. A music educator and researcher, she specializes in narrative inquiry that focuses on hip-hop communities of practice.
Her interests include the role of Philippine artists in the development of Toronto hip-hop, the effect of colonial ideologies on institutional music study and musician identity, and the ways that hip-hop creative processes can inform decolonizing, anti-racist pedagogies.
She is co-founder of Climate Pledge Collective, which provides tools for individual action and activism to mitigate the effects of our climate crisis through climate justice.
