Kristen Pellegrino, recipient of the 2024 Christopher Kendall Award from the SMTD Alumni Board, presents a guest lecture with support from the Department of Music Education.

Many researchers have found connections between (a) developing a strong teacher identity; (b) building connections among themselves, their subject, and their students; and (c) positively affecting student learning and teacher satisfaction/ resilience. I will briefly share how I became interested in studying music teacher identity and my process of reframing how to study it. Then, I will spend most of the session sharing what I have learned about college music education majors’ music teacher identity development, and public-school string teachers’ and music teachers’ experiences, beliefs, teaching practices, and identities.

KRISTEN PELLEGRINO, Professor of Music Education at the University of Texas at San Antonio and Past-President of American String Teachers Association, has 40 scholarly publications. In addition to international and national research journal articles and book chapters, Kristen was co-editor of two Oxford University Press books (2019, 2023). She is currently co-authoring a third book, Conway Publications’ *Journeys of Becoming and Being Music Teachers* (forthcoming, 2025). Pellegrino’s degrees are from the University of Michigan (Ph.D. in music education; M.M. in violin/chamber music performance) and the Eastman School of Music (B.M. in music education; B.M. in violin performance).

Congress just passed the biggest, most ambitious climate bill in history. And it's called ... the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. What's with that branding?

TikTok, and other apps like it, are filled with financial advice. Some of it is reliable, some... less so.

There are videos about running a business, having a side hustle, generating passive income. And also, there are a lot of tips and tricks, many of them questionable, about saving on your taxes.

On this show, we run some of the greatest hits of TikTok tax advice by some bonafide tax experts. We'll talk about whether you can use gambling losses to reduce your tax bill, whether your pets qualify you for tax deductions – and we'll fact check the claim that all rich people own expensive Mercedes G-Wagons... for tax purposes.

Along the way, we'll drill down on the concepts like taxable income and the standard deduction. And we'll ask why so many videos on TikTok suggest that you (fraudulently) categorize personal expenses as business expenses. Sometimes with a literal wink and a nod.
