Call for Papers
College Music Symposium (Scholarship and Research)
Special Issue on “Ethnomusicology Scholarship and Teaching: Then, Now, and Into the Future”
Submission Deadline: August 31, 2013
College Music Symposium is the official publication of The College Music Society, and the Scholarship and Research component is the premier refereed publication of original scholarly and research articles in the field of music in higher education. The purpose of the special issue on “Ethnomusicology Scholarship and Teaching: Then, Now, and Into the Future” is to address how the field of ethnomusicology has changed and the direction it is heading in scholarship and in teaching. The Society has a history in publishing key articles in many music fields. In ethnomusicology, an article regarding the Institute of Ethnomusicology at UCLA by Paul Revitt appeared in the Symposium volume 2 in 1962. Thirty years later, in 1992, an article clarifying distinctive features of ethnomusicology and world music (by Dale Olsen and Robert Brown) appeared in the Society’s Newsletter. Of course there are other key publications by CMS and others regarding the development and direction of ethnomusicology. Now more than two decades since the newsletter article on ethnomusicology and world music, it is time for CMS to give another significant attempt to clarify ethnomusicology then, now, and into the future, as it pertains to scholarship, performance, teaching, and service.
Authors are encouraged to offer their perspectives and experiences, perhaps as teaching ethnomusicologists, ethnomusicologists who sing, play and dance, ethnomusicologists recalling the early historical development of the field, ethnomusicologists of popular music, ethnomusicologists in the public sector, ethnomusicologists studying children, and ethnomusicologists who can clarify the field in relation to world music performance. Authors may write about new horizons, perspectives, theories, practices, and processes that would interest and relate to CMS members. Contributions are open as long as they clarify ethnomusicology at this time and look to its future. Although authors may submit their contributions at any time, the deadline is August 31, 2013 for full consideration for this special issue.
