Call for Papers
2018 Meeting of the NYSSL Chapter of AMS
SUNY Fredonia School of Music, April 14-15, 2018
Deadline for proposals: Thursday, Feb. 1
The 2018 Spring meeting of the New York State St. Lawrence chapter of the American Musicological Society will take place on Saturday and Sunday, April 14-15, at SUNY Fredonia. Information on local hotels, B&Bs and restaurants will be posted on our website as it becomes available.
Saturday night will feature a performance of the musical “Spring Awakening” by the Fredonia Department of Theatre Dance in conjunction with the School of Music. We encourage submissions that address Broadway musicals, Wedekind, musical representations of sexuality, and other issues related to “Spring Awakening.” We also solicit panel recommendations, including lightening talks or other alternative formats.
You are invited to submit abstracts in all areas of scholarship on music to the Program Committee Chair: Jim Davis, SUNY Fredonia at davisj@fredonia.edu. The deadline for abstracts is Thursday, February 1, 2018.
Review of proposals is blind. In the body of an email, include your name, title of the paper, A/V requirements (sound, piano, projector, etc.), affiliation, and contact information. Please attach an abstract of no more than 250 words to your email (.pdf or .docx). Do not include your name in the title or in the abstract document.
Accepted papers should be 20 minutes in length. Note: The submission of an abstract presupposes that the proposer agrees to present the paper should the Program Committee accept it.
You do not need to be a member of the AMS or the NYSSL chapter to submit a proposal. Should your paper be selected for presentation though, you will need to pay chapter dues and become a member. We are working on getting a link up on the Chapter Website. There will be more information about that shortly.
Graduate students may request to be considered for the annual Student Paper Prize (AMS).
