DJ View’s Theory: Books, Beats & Classroom Seats reflects the overarching melodic blends and scratches of how a unique DJ retaining people on the dance floor encompasses the same transferable skills for higher education practitioners to retain students within the classroom. Faculty, staff and students will comprehend the struggle that a DJ within Higher Education faced to suppress his distinctiveness, while trying to fit into the cultural and political realms of academia.
