CFP: Buffalo Graduate Symposium on Music

CFP: Buffalo Graduate Symposium on Music

March 3-4, 2012
University at Buffalo (SUNY)

The Music Graduate Student Association of the University at Buffalo is
accepting paper proposals for the fifth annual Graduate Symposium on
Music to be held on March 3-4, 2012. The conference will feature a
keynote address by Tim Carter of the University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill.  Professor Carter's research ranges from Monteverdi and
Mozart's Italian operas to a recent book on "Oklahoma!" The Making of an
American Musical (Yale University Press, 2007) and forthcoming work on
Kurt Weill.

The symposium aims to present a broad range of contemporary music
research, to encourage stimulating conversation among participants, and
to suggest methodological connections across a wide array of topics.
Papers addressing topics in musicology, ethnomusicology, and music
theory will be considered.  Papers must not exceed twenty minutes in
length, and will be followed by 10 minutes of questions.

Mosaic, the online music journal of the University at Buffalo, SUNY,
will be selecting one presentation from the Graduate Symposium for
publication in their next issue as an audio-visual article. This will
include a video recording of the presentation as well as any handouts,
or other supplemental materials. Please indicate your interest in this
possibility in the email you send with your abstract. We will only be
recording presentations delivered by those people who express interest
and give us their permission to do so.

Proposals must be received by 5:00 p.m. EST, Sunday, January 15, 2012.
Please e-mail proposals to <UBMugSym2012 at gmail.com>. Include in the body
of your message your name, institutional affiliation, and the title of
your paper. Also indicate any specific technology requirements (computer
projection, audio, video players, etc.). Your paper proposal, not to
exceed 350 words, should be attached to the e-mail in the form of a .doc
or .docx file. Please DO NOT include your name or institutional
affiliation in the attachment.

(The Graduate Symposium on Music is cosponsored by the University at
Buffalo Graduate Student Association.)
