Carrie Allen
Assistant Professor, Music
Ph.D, Musicology, University of Georgia
African-American sacred song, country music, race, and regional identity.
“The students’ diverse backgrounds and life-experiences seem to make them more receptive to learning about new styles of music and the historical context of those styles. It’s also fun to teach music courses in a city with such a vibrant and multicultural musical landscape; students can attend diverse musical events and conduct research on a variety of rich local music cultures.

Rhetorical theory related to ethics, reconciliation, and public discourse.
“The students here engage their studies in a spirit that I have not encountered anywhere else; they seem especially goal-driven and they are in school because they want to be. The recognition that you still have much to learn is the foundation for a liberating education, and I’m eager to do what I can to help students achieve their goals.”

“One of the things that really excited me about teaching at UHD was being
a part of the new Bachelor of Arts in Fine Arts (BAFA) degree, which offers
students a unique and exceptionally well-rounded education in the arts
as well as essential business skills. I have been delighted to see this
new major growing so fast and impressed by the creativity, skill, and ingenuity
demonstrated by the students in my classes and on stage in Ain't Misbehavin'
last semester! Bravo!

“There are a number of reasons why I love being at UHD but the factor that
stands out is that it is so wonderful to teach students who are so enthusiastic
about learning and represent such a diverse range of ideas, cultures, and
lifestyles. I’m not only teaching here—I am learning a lot too.”
