Poetic Justice Values in UK's Digital Spoken Word Education: Artographic to Autoethnographic Portraits of Collective Becoming

该奖学金将提请注意口语诗歌教育对道德实用主义干预设计的重要性，以及它在英国政策和国家课程中的中心地位。政策要求英国学校用英国价值观来教授精神、道德、社会和文化发展（SMSC），而这种价值观充斥着历史偏见。在2021年美国总统就职典礼上，青年桂冠诗人阿曼达·戈尔曼（Amanda Gorman）的口语诗以充满希望的价值观吸引了数百万网民。少数族裔的年轻人在她身上看到了自己的影子，而英国的学校则面临着新冠疫情的诗歌削减。在大洋彼岸，英国诗人卡迪什·莫里斯警告说：“诗歌拯救了我，不要否认它对下一代的影响。”网络诗歌教学是困难的，但这是一种罕见的多样化的表现形式和情感资源。以口语诗歌为例，它是一种为观众大声表演的流行艺术形式，它本质上是数字化的，并在网上分享。像戈尔曼和莫里斯这样的年轻诗人提醒我们，不仅政治需要诗歌，学校和政策也需要诗歌，尤其是在困难时期。例如，在成名之前，戈尔曼教授口语以增强年轻人的能力，而卡迪什说，如果没有诗歌，她可能还在学校留校。ESRC奖学金将使我能够坚定地扩展口语诗人的价值观在英国年轻人生活中的地位和影响，这将建立在我在监狱中进行口语诗歌项目的博士学位上。特别值得一提的是，作为我博士研究海外被监禁的年轻人的一部分，我设计了一个基于美国和英国口语诗歌和嘻哈音乐的新口语诗歌项目。我还与国际和英国的口语诗人教育家进行了小型研究。我的结论是，口语诗歌教育可以为青少年的个人、道德、关系和社会发展提供信息。该奖学金旨在巩固我主要在教育领域的博士研究成果，并将其扩展到艺术和监狱以外的领域。SMSC的方法与青少年正义中美好生活的理念相关，可以帮助缓解从学校到监狱的管道。该奖学金还将展示教育哲学的实际作用，以帮助设计由口语教育者主导的教育干预。要做到这一点，有四个目标与我的博士研究结果一致，即创造性实践、教学法、集体表现（即美术网站）可以促进道德发展，并以积极的方式改写逆境。首先，我将巩固支撑艺术口语的价值观，完成一本以艺术为基础的书籍手稿，作为大学教科书和高等教育课程的研究方法书。其次，我将发展我的研究技能和网络，以扩大学术口语诗人的伙伴关系，以重新构想与青年的教学方法。第三，将促进口语诗歌价值观在SMSC的影响。为了做到这一点，它将产生新的有限的研究结果，关于英国口语诗人的作品如何扩展一个集体空间，在这个空间中，可以发生更公正的价值观实践，并向年轻人传授。英国是一个特别有趣的例子，因为它独特而有影响力的口语诗人计划是通过该国唯一一个培养口语诗人教育家的研究生学位在学校发起的。此外，该奖学金将强调英国口语诗人在批评教育标准局和英国价值观政策背景方面的作用，以及它在延续社会耻辱方面的破坏性作用。它将强调诗人在反对至上主义文化和宗教价值观方面的作用。第四，我将在该领域的一个独特的研究会议上扩大SMSC研究结果的影响和传播，使该奖学金的多个受益者聚集在一起。这次会议以及之前的阶段将会产生一个关于SMSC的特刊，并通过一个以参与者的方式重新定义英国价值观的口语诗歌专辑来展示诗人教育家和年轻人的声音。

This fellowship will draw attention to the importance of spoken word poetry education for the design of morally pragmatic interventions as well as its central place within UK policy and on the national curriculum. Policy requires English schools to teach spiritual, moral, social, and cultural development (SMSC) with British values, which is rife with historical prejudice. In 2021 US presidential inauguration, youth poet laureate Amanda Gorman's spoken word poem captured millions online with hopeful values. Minoritized young people saw themselves reflected in her, while UK schools faced Covid-19 poetry cuts. Across the pond, UK poet Kadish Morris warned "poetry saved me, don't deny it to next generations". Teaching online-poetry is difficult, but a rare diverse representation and emotional resource. It the case of spoken word poetry as a popular art form performed out loud for an audience, it is inherently digitised and shared online. Young poets like Gorman and Morris remind not only that politics needs poetry, but that both schools and policy need poetry too, especially during adverse times. For example, before fame, Gorman taught spoken word to empower youth, while Kadish said that without poetry she may still be in school detention. The ESRC fellowship will enable me to firmly extend the place and impact of spoken word poets' values in young people's lives in the UK building on my PhD's delivery of a spoken word poetry programme in prison. Particularly, as part of my PhD's work with imprisoned young men abroad, I designed a new spoken word poetry programme based on US and UK spoken word poetry and hip-hop. I also conducted small research with international and UK spoken word poet educators. I concluded that spoken word poetry education can inform young people's personal, moral, relational, and social development.The fellowship aims to consolidate my PhD findings primarily in the field of education and build its reach beyond the arts and prison context. The SMSC approach is relevant to ideas of good lives in youth justice that can help alleviate the school to prison pipeline. The fellowship will also show the practical role of philosophy of education to help design education interventions led by spoken word educators. To do this, there are four aims aligned with my PhD findings that creative practice, pedagogy, collective performance (i.e. artographic sites) can contribute to moral development and rewriting adversity in a positive manner. First, I will consolidate the values that underpin artographic spoken word to complete an arts-based book manuscript that will serve as college textbook as well as research methods book for HE courses. Second, I will develop my research skills and networks to expand academic-spoken word poet partnerships to reimagine pedagogies with youth. Third, the fellowship will boost spoken word poetry values impact in SMSC. To do this it will generate new limited research findings on how UK spoken word poets' work extends a collective space where more just practice of values can take place and be taught with young people. The UK is a particularly interesting case because of its unique and impactful scheme of spoken word poets in schools initiated through the only postgraduate degree in the country that trains spoken word poet educators. Moreover, the fellowship will highlight UK spoken word poets' role in critiquing Ofsted and British Values policy context and its damaging role in perpetuating social stigma. It will stress poets' role in countering supremacist cultural and religious values. Fourth, I will expand the impact and dissemination of the SMSC findings in a unique research conference in this field, to bring together multiple beneficiaries of this fellowship. The conference as well as prior stages will lead to a special issue on SMSC and showcase the voices of poet educators and young people through a spoken word poetry album of redefining British Values on the terms of the participants.
