Appel de conférences pour le colloque « Music and Connection », Case Western Reserve University (Cleveland, OH), 4-5 avril 2025.

« The Music Graduate Student Association at Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) is excited to announce a conference for graduate students (including recent graduates) to be held on Friday-Saturday, April 4-5, 2025, on CWRU’s campus in Cleveland, OH. We seek to bring together scholars, performers, and educators who engage with the conference theme of “Music and Connection”- the expansive, inclusive, multimodal ways in which music can create bonds across time and place, strengthen communities, and deepen our empathy and awareness. In addition to paper sessions and lecture-recitals, the conference will feature a keynote interview with Dr. Susan McClary conducted by Dr. Daniel Goldmark, an interdisciplinary panel of CWRU faculty and staff, and interactive student-led events.

We invite proposals for 20-minute papers, 30-45-minute lecture-recitals, and nontraditional presentation formats from graduate students working in all music disciplines and related fields in the humanities and beyond, including but not limited to historical musicology, historical performance, ethnomusicology, music theory, music education, and modern performance.

Proposals are due Monday, November 11, 2024, and should include the presentation title, format, and abstract of no more than 300 words. Please submit proposals through our Google form (https://forms.gle/bSSWGKLF7ycgCwHs6), and feel free to send any questions to Maura Sugg at mxs1656 -at- case.edu.

The Conference Committee will review proposals and send out decisions by Monday, December 2, 2024. »
