AMS-Midwest Chapter Meeting, Fall 2024
Hosted online by the University of Missouri, October 12–13, 2024

Deadline for abstract submission: Friday, September 6, 2024, by 11:59 PM, EST

The Midwest Chapter officers are pleased to announce that the Fall 2024 meeting will be held online on Saturday and Sunday, October 12–13. Judith Mabary and Megan Murph will be the “virtual” hosts for the meeting.

Proposals for presentations, special sessions, panel discussions, and papers with a performance component are welcomed on any topic related to musicology. Given that 2024 serves as the centennial of the death of Puccini, the first recordings made by Duke Ellington, and the world-premieres of Sibelius’s Symphony no. 7 and Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue, the committee especially encourages proposals related to the milestone year of 1924. Abstracts should be no longer than 250 words and should clearly indicate the scope of the research, methodology, and conclusions. Presentations will be limited to twenty minutes, with an additional ten minutes allotted for questions and discussion. Speakers at the 2023 Fall meeting are not eligible to submit a paper abstract for the 2024 Fall meeting; however, they are welcome to participate in panel discussions. Only one submission per person is allowed.

The meeting will feature a keynote presentation by Karen Fournier (University of Michigan) titled “Suburbia and the Supermarket: Parodies of Gendered Spaces as Feminist Protest in Early British Punk.”
