Society for Ethnomusicology, Southern California Chapter
CALL FOR PROPOSALS
38th Annual Meeting February 21-22, 2004
University of California, Los Angeles

The Program Committee of the 38th annual meeting of the Society for Ethnomusicology, Southern California Chapter (SEMSCC) invites local SEM members, students, faculty, and all others interested in the field of ethnomusicology to submit proposals for papers, panels, roundtable discussions, workshops, film/video screenings, performances, or collective events for the 2004 conference.

Both individual paper proposals and panel submissions are welcome. However, we encourage panel submissions in which three or four papers explore different aspects of a common theme. The Program Committee also extends a special invitation to local members of the American Musicological Society and Society for American Music to submit proposals that might be of mutual interest.

Proposals from graduate students in ethnomusicology and closely related fields are especially welcome. Graduate student papers are eligible for the Ki Mantle Hood Student Prize (see the guidelines posted on the SEMSCC website). We also strongly encourage local faculty and new or visiting scholars to contribute to the program.
