Episode 12 – MJ Academy: ‘The Dangerous Philosophies’ Pt. 2

'This is the reason why I believe so emphatically in teaching Michael, because Michael deserves to be taught... and people who want to learn about Michael deserve to learn about him. I believe that can be done with freedom online...' – Elizabeth Amisu, author of The Dangerous Philosophies of Michael Jackson: His Music, His Persona, and His Artistic Afterlife This twelfth  episode stands in the light of the MJ Academy and the forthcoming book of Elizabeth Amisu, editor of The Journal of Michael Jackson Academic Studies.
