Issues in Ethnomusicology

Course Description

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2020-2021.

This class provides a forum for students studying ethnomusicology or musical topics in other fields to engage recent literature that reflects the current theoretical preoccupations of the discipline. Topics will include: sound studies; affect; decolonial methods; race and ethnicity; gender, sexuality, and the erotic; conflict and disaster, and; posthumanism, interspecies work, and climate change. Focusing on critical reading skills, we will study 2-3 articles or chapters per session, with short weekly responses and a final bibliography comprising the primary writing component of the class. Regular attendance and active participation are required.
