Looking Towards the Future: Popular Music Studies and Music Scholarship
Twentieth-Century Music (2021). In this forum, we have collected articles from participants in a recent symposium on the future of popular music studies to reflect more deeply on the challenges we all face in in an increasingly diverse and divided world -- challenges of teaching, studying, comprehending, and embodying pop music in all its richness. The field must reckon with these challenges if it is to remain relevant, and in doing so (we argue) it perhaps models a way forward for music scholarship as a whole.
Introduction: Festivals and Musical Life
Journal of the Society for American Music (2020). In this special issue of JSAM, my overarching goal has been to showcase the rich diversity of festival research, decentering popular music studies from it, and in doing so to demonstrate both that music scholars working in a variety of areas have much to contribute to contemporary popular and academic discourse on music festivals, and that festival studies has much to contribute to music scholarship beyond popular music studies. The articles collected here contribute to a broad interdisciplinary literature on music festivals. Each also illustrates the value of music festival research to the scholarship of music in the Americas.
Introduction to Music Industry
This course introduces students to a wide array of standard business practices, roles, and norms in the music industries, with a focus on U.S. markets. We address a variety of content areas and business sectors: artist relationships and management, entrepreneurship, intellectual property, international markets, the live music industry, music and other forms of media or entertainment (radio, TV, film, video games, advertising, etc.), and the recorded music industry.
Introduction to World Music
In this course, we will examine the social and cultural role of music(s) and musical experiences around the world, with special attention to the role of music in discourses regarding multiculturalism in the United States. How does music structure individual and collective identity? How do aesthetics, ideals, politics, and values shape musical experiences? How might we begin to understand culturally- and contextually-specific attitudes towards localism and globalization, appropriation and syncretism, individual and collective interests, exclusion and inclusion, art and commerce, resistance and conformity through music?
