Dr. Kevin Shorner-Johnson is the director of music education at Elizabethtown College. His scholarship focuses on the intersection of peacebuilding and music education. As a teacher, he has applied his interests in ethics, spirituality, and peacebuilding to approach music coursework in ways that are rooted within an Anabaptist heritage of peacebuilding, intentional community, and ethical discernment. In 2018, Dr. Shorner-Johnson was named to the “Peacemaker in our Midst Award” by the World Affairs Council of Harrisburg. Dr. Shorner-Johnson’s most recent scholarship will be highlighted in a forthcoming international book that approaches and critiques the United Nation’s temporal constructions in education policy. His on-the-ground peacebuilding work focuses on building capacity and community within Central Pennsylvania Latina/o communities and using the arts to affirm and embrace the fullness of Puerto Rican identity.
