University of Minnesota School of Music Graduate Student Symposium 

23-25 March 2007

University of Minnesota School of Music

Minneapolis, Minnesota 

The University of Minnesota Musicology/Ethnomusicology Graduate Student Organization (UJive) announces a Call for Papers for an interdisciplinary symposium of music scholarship.  We particularly encourage proposals addressing the diverse manifestations of music-making in the American Midwest, but invite papers on all aspects of music, from all historical periods and geographic areas.  We emphasize interdisciplinarity and welcome the work from scholars in all academic disciplines, utilizing diverse methodologies. 

We anticipate that most presentations will follow a standard 20 minute paper-reading format with a 10 minute question-and-answer period, although we encourage alternative and innovative approaches.  

Please submit two copies (one blind, one with contact information) of a 250-word abstract describing your project to ujivesubmissions at gmail.com by 20 December.    Include in your email any special equipment you will require for your presentation.  Your abstract should be suitable for publication in the symposium program.   

Abstracts will be evaluated by a panel including independent jurors.  We will contact you immediately to confirm that we have received your submission and will notify submitters of the panel’s decision by 15 January. 

Please address all questions to ujivequestions at gmail.com.
