Syracuse University is pleased to announce Music,
Justice, and Gender, a symposium to be held
September 14-16, 2007. This event, generously
supported by a grant from the Mellon Foundation,
will bring together scholars, performers, and
activists from the worlds of performance,
composition, historical musicology,
ethnomusicology, and women's studies to join the
faculty and students from the universities
involved in the newly instituted Upstate New York
Humanities Corridor-the Eastman School of Music
(University of Rochester), Syracuse University,
and Cornell University.

… Gender, justice, and musical nationalism
… Music, gender, and violence

… Music, gender, and the negotiation of power

Abstracts (250 words) should outline the proposed
paper as fully as possible and should include
