[AMS-announce] ANNOUNCEMENT: SAM Wiley Housewright Dissertation Award

[Announcements for the AMS]

The Society for American Music announces its annual competition for a 
dissertation on any topic relating to American music. The 
dissertation must be in English, and must be completed between 1 
January and 31 December, 2007.

American music is interpreted in all its historical and contemporary 
styles and contexts, including, but not limited to art and popular 
musics, the musics of ethnic groups and minorities, and the full 
range of activities associated with music. "America" is understood 
here to embrace North America (Canada, The United States, and 
Mexico), including Central America and the Caribbean, and aspects of 
its cultures elsewhere in the world.

Candidates should send the following no later than April 14, 2008:

1. The title page and abstract of your dissertation
2. The table of contents
3. Preface or introduction
4. One sample chapter

Electronic submissions are preferred (Microsoft Word or .pdf only).

Music Department, University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, 800 W. Main,

DMA and other terminal degree documents will be considered as long as 
the entire piece of  scholarship is included in a written document 
(musical compositions or other materials will not be considered).

Applicants should include a full mailing address, phone number, and 
email address (where an acknowledgement will be sent), the title of 
the work, university, department, date, and major advisor. Please do 
not send the complete dissertation at this time.
