CALL FOR PROPOSALS 

The program committee of the 37th 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 2003 conference.

As in the past, we prefer not to stipulate any conference themes in advance,
instead allowing themes to emerge from the abstracts that are submitted.
However, we would like to 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 at http://www.ucr.edu/ethnomus/semscc1.html). We also strongly
encourage local faculty and new or visiting scholars to contribute to the
program.

Regular mail: Please submit four copies of an abstract not more than 300
words long. One copy should have your name, institutional affiliation, and
address in the bottom left corner. The remaining three copies should consist
of your abstract text only and should not include any identification.

www.ucr.edu/ethnomus/semscc1.html). Be sure to include an email address or a
