The AMS Ecocriticism Study Group and the SEM Ecomusicology Special Interest Group invite submissions on research from any academic field related to any issues of and around ecomusicology (ecocritical / ecological / environmental studies of music and/or sound), which is broadly construed as the dynamic relationships between culture, music/sound, and nature/environment, in all the complexities of those terms.
Papers accepted for the conference will be considered for publication in a volume of essays currently being prepared under the working title "Ecomusicology: A Field Guide," edited by Aaron S. Allen (University of North Carolina at Greensboro, USA) and Kevin Dawe (University of Leeds, UK).
The conference organizers plan to include electronic communications to allow for virtual involvement. If you would like to participate in the conference either as a presenter or attendee but cannot be in ­ or for environmental reasons prefer not to travel to ­ New Orleans, you will have the option to deliver your work and/or see and hear the presentations of others via the Internet.
Program Committee: Aaron S. Allen (USA), William Bares (USA), Kevin Dawe (UK), Annette Kreutziger-Herr (Germany), Michael MacDonald (Canada), Jennifer C. Post (New Zealand), Robin Ryan (Australia), Juha Torvinen (Finland), Denise Von Glahn (USA)
