SMT Music and Disability Interest Group

Organizational Meeting

AMS/SMT Conference in Los Angeles

Saturday November 4

7:30-9:00 A. M. (Malibu)

Please join us to organize a new SMT Interest Group (and possibly create
an AMS Study Group). We plan to discuss new initiatives in three areas:

  1. Scholarship that links recent work in Disability Studies to
     musicology and music theory. We will develop presentations and
     panels for forthcoming AMS and SMT conferences, as well as
     conferences of the Society for Disability Studies.

  2. Disability in the classroom. We will develop strategies and
     information resources for accommodating students (and teachers)
     with disabilities in the music classroom.

3. Conference accessibility. We will discuss ways of making our
conferences more accessible to scholars with disabilities.
