Congratulations to Ph.D. candidate Alexandrea Jonker for winning the Best Student Paper award from the Rocky Mountain Society for Music Theory conference held in early April. Her paper, “Keeping the ‘Ear’ in ‘Ear Training’: Incorporating ‘Blind Hearing’ for Improved Aural Skills Pedagogy” explores the ways in which a notation-free, aural-focused ear training curriculum can benefit all types of students, including those with visual impairments, those who prefer more kinaesthetic and aural learning methods, and those who are trained in non-Western music traditions. Congratulations, Alex!

2021 McGill Music Graduate Virtual Symposium
Schulich School of Music, McGill University
Montréal, Canada, March 12–14, 2021

Call for Papers: mcgillmusicsymposium.wordpress.com
Submission Deadline: January 1, 2021

La version française suit

The McGill Music Graduate Students’ Society (MGSS) at the Schulich School of Music in Montréal, Canada is pleased to announce its 34rd annual Symposium, which will be held virtually via Zoom March 12–14, 2021. All abstracts must be received by Friday, January 1, 2021. Decisions will be communicated at the beginning of February.

Our research keynote speaker, Prof. Noriko Manabe, is an Associate Professor of Music Studies at Temple University. She conducts research on music and social movements, popular music, and music and trauma, particularly in Japan, Latin America, and the U.S. Her research is interdisciplinary, pairing ethnography with musical analysis and drawing on theories from political science, sociology, urban studies, literary studies, linguistics, media studies, and anthropology. Her most recent article, "We Gon’ Be Alright? The Ambiguities of Kendrick Lamar’s Protest Anthem," published in Music Theory Online, won the 2019 Outstanding Publications Award from the Society for Music Theory, Popular Music Interest Group.

Our performance keynote address will be delivered by flautist, singer, and visual artist Justine Stephens. Based in Boston, her current work aligns most closely with jazz and neo-soul, a journey that began upon her jazz debut feature in the 2011 short film Kuvuka Daraja, a work featured in both the International Black Women’s Film Festival in San Francisco and the Zanzibar International Film Festival. More recently, she enjoys performing sets covering the music of soul greats, Black spirituals, and soaring improvisations over live looped beats. She also dedicates much of her time to the nonprofit sector, giving back to the very cultural institutions that inspired her during her formative years.

We welcome abstracts (300 words) in any area of music research including, but not limited to, ethnomusicology, music theory, musicology, music education, music technology, sound recording, music psychology, performance, and composition. Papers, lecture recitals, and improvisations are encouraged. Presentations may occur either synchronously via Zoom or asynchronously. Paper presentations will be twenty minutes in length, followed by a ten-minute question and answer period.

Abstracts and presentations may be in either English or French. Please attach abstracts as MS Word documents without any personal identification in the attachment. In the body of your email, please include your name, email, and academic affiliation.

We especially encourage submissions for an afternoon session devoted to diversifying and decolonizing music academia to be held on Friday, March 12.

In the interest of accessibility and in keeping with the MGSS’s commitment to equity and diversity, we ask applicants to let us know about any issues of accessibility, including (but not limited to) those regarding childcare arrangements for the conference or disability-related accommodations. Every effort will be made to accommodate accessibility issues, when possible. Abstracts will be evaluated on their own merits and all personal information disclosed will remain confidential.

Please send abstracts and inquiries to [email protected].

Appel à contributions : Symposium annuel de la Société des étudiants des cycles supérieurs en musique de l’Université McGill

C’est avec grand plaisir que nous annonçons le 43e symposium annuel de la Société des étudiants des cycles supérieurs en musique de l’Université McGill (McGill Music Graduate Students’ Society, MGSS), qui se tiendra virtuellement via Zoom du 12 au 14 mars 2021. Tous les résumés doivent être soumis au plus t**d le 1er janvier 2021 et les décisions seront communiquées au début du mois de février.

Notre conférencière d’honneur en recherche, Mme.Noriko Manabe, est professeure agrégée en musique à l'université du Temple. Elle a étudié sur la musique et les mouvements sociaux, la musique populaire et les traumatismes, en particulier au Japon, en Amérique latine et aux États-Unis. Ses recherches sont interdisciplinaires, associant l'ethnographie à l'analyse musicale et s'appuyant sur des théories de la science politique, de la sociologie, des études urbaines, des études littéraires, de la linguistique, des études des médias et de l'anthropologie. Son dernier article, «We Gon’ Be Alright? The Ambiguities of Kendrick Lamar’s Protest Anthem », publié dans Music Theory Online, a remporté en 2019 le prix d’excellence dans la catégorie «Publication» de la Society for Music Theory, Popular Music Interest Group.

Notre conférence d’honneur en interprétation sera livrée par la flûtiste, artiste visuelle et chanteuse Justine Stephens. Établie à Boston, son travail actuel se concentre sur la musique jazz et néo-soul, un projet qui a débuté lors de Kuvuka Daraja, son premier court métrage en 2011 qui a été présenté à la fois au Festival international du film des femmes noires à San Francisco et au Festival international du film de Zanzibar. Plus récemment, elle aime jouer des concerts couvrant la musique soul, de compositeurs(trices) noirs(res) et des improvisations enflammées sur des rythmes en boucle. Elle consacre également une grande partie de son temps au bénévolat, redonnant aux institutions culturelles qui l'ont inspirée au cours de ses années de formation.

Nous invitons les étudiants(es) intéressés(es) à participer au symposium à soumettre des résumés de 300 mots portant sur tous les champs appartenant à la recherche en musique, y compris l’ethnomusicologie, la théorie, l’analyse, la musicologie, l’enseignement de la musique, la technologie musicale, l’enregistrement, la psychologie de la musique, l’interprétation ainsi que la composition. Les présentations ainsi que les conférences-récitals sont bienvenues. Les présentations peuvent avoir lieu en direct via Zoom ou de manière asynchrone. Les présentations de recherche dureront vingt minutes, suivies d'une période de questions de dix minutes.

Les résumés ainsi que les exposés peuvent être soumis en anglais ou en français. Veuillez envoyer vos propositions sous forme de document MS Word en pièce jointe, dépourvue d’informations personnelles pouvant vous identifier. Dans le texte de votre courriel, veuillez indiquer votre nom et votre adresse courriel ainsi que votre affiliation académique.

Nous encourageons particulièrement les soumissions pour une session qui se tiendra le vendredi 12 mars en après-midi consacrée à la diversification et à la décolonisation du milieu universitaire de la musique.

Dans le cadre d’une plus grande accessibilité et conformément à l’engagement de MGSS envers l’équité et l’inclusion, nous vous demandons de nous informer, dans le texte de votre courriel, des facteurs limitant votre accès au symposium. Il peut s’agir, mais sans s’y limiter, aux coûts financiers associés à la garde d’enfants lors de la conférence, ou de mesures d’adaptations liées aux personnes handicapées. Tous les efforts seront faits pour résoudre les problèmes d'accessibilités, lorsque cela sera possible. Les propositions seront évaluées indépendamment selon leur propre mérite, et toute information personnelle restera confidentielle.

Veuillez faire parvenir vos résumés à l’adresse suivante : [email protected].
