Writing as Sanctuary with Emmanuel Tabi

Writing as Sanctuary with Dr Emmanuel TabiHow does writing, and other forms of cultural production, offer a sanctuary for people to express their emotional lives, especially in a world that doesn’t give everyone an equal chance at being heard?

Dr. Emmanuel Tabi, our guest today, is a multi-talented artist, musician, and writer. He’s spent the past 14 years writing and performing spoken word poetry in and around the Greater Toronto Area. He’s now a new prof at 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ in Montreal where his scholarship continues to explore the emotional lives of Black folks and how those lives are given shape and substance through various forms of cultural production. In this episode, host Ty Walkland and Dr. Emmanuel Tabi talk about how poetry, hip hop, and music inform his scholarship, about healing and social change, and about writing as both a sacred experience and a sanctuary.
