MUSICAL RECEPTION: Actions, Reactions, Interactions
October 15, 2005
The Barker Center, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA

This conference invites graduate students to submit papers concerning all manifestations of musical reception. Topics may include, but are by no means limited to: how we experience music; how we think about, respond to, interpret, and talk or write about music; and how audiences can impact musical performances.

Papers are welcome from students engaged in all areas of musical scholarship (including musicologists, ethnomusicologists, theorists, performers, and composers), as well as from those in anthropology, history, cultural studies, sociology, philosophy, and related fields.

Abstracts should be 250 words or fewer and should be submitted by e-mail no later than August 1, 2005. The abstract should be included in the body of the message, as should the submitter's name, telephone number, and institutional affiliation. The Program Committee will read abstracts free of identifying information. Notifications will be sent no later than September 1, 2005.

Please e-mail abstracts and inquiries to Sheryl Kaskowitz, Conference Chair: skaskow@fas.harvard.edu.
