Dear all,
Below is the schedule for this quarter’s EthNoise! workshops. You’ll notice that we still have several weeks we could potentially fill; if you are interested in presenting in the workshop but haven’t yet reached out, you can still do so! Finally, unless otherwise noted, all workshops meet in Rosenwald 301 from 5-6:20 PM.
.
April 4– Dr. Rumya Putcha, “Refrains of a Hillbilly Elegy: Country Boys, Social Media, and the Affective Politics of 21st-Century White Supremacy”
.
April 25– There is no workshop this day, but several regular attendees of EthNoise! will be participating in a teatime concert at 4:30 PM in Fulton Recital Hall (4th floor of Goodspeed Hall). More details to follow.
.
May 2– Dr. Kaley Mason (Assistant Professor of Music at Lewis & Clark College and former ethnomusicology faculty at UChicago), topic TBA
.
May 3-5– EthNoise! will be co-sponsoring the 34th Annual MEHAT (Middle East History and Theory) Conference. The overall theme of the conference is “Migration and Movement of Peoples,” and (ethno)musicologists will surely have plenty of reasons to want to attend, including a keynote address by Dr. Ulrike Präger on the topic of music and migration in the Middle East, several grad-student papers on this topic, and a closing concert by world-renowned Iraqi oud performer Rahim AlHaj (following a pre-concert talk led by our very own Dr. Phil Bohlman). More details to follow.
.
May 9– Dr. Anna Schultz (the newest ethnomusicology faculty member here at UChicago), “An Ethnomusicologist among the Historians”
.
May 16– Mari Jo Velasco (Postdoctoral fellow at Princeton University and UChicago Music Department alumna), topic TBA
