The 1997 meeting of the Southern California Chapter of the Society for Ethnomusicology will take place on February 28, 1998 at the University of California, Los Angeles. All local SEM members, students, faculty, and prospective members who would like to learn more about the field of ethnomusicology are invited to attend.
The program committee requests proposals for papers, panels, roundtable discussions, workshops, film-video screenings, performances, and collective events. Proposals that address the theme of ìThe Relationship between Cultural Studies and Ethnomusicologyî are particularly welcome. The program committee also extends to local American Musicology Society and Sonneck Society members a special invitation to submit abstracts and panel proposals that might be of mutual interest.
Paper proposals from graduate students in ethnomusicology and closely related fields are especially welcome. Student papers are eligible for the Ki Mantle Hood Student Prize (see guidelines). We also strongly encourage local faculty, as well as new or visiting scholars to contribute to the program.
Please submit six (6) copies of an abstract not more than 300 words and one page long. One copy should have your name, institutional affiliation and address in the bottom left corner--the remaining five copies should consist of your abstract text only, and should not include any identification of the author. Also include the abstract information form and a stamped, self-addressed envelope.
