CFP: Medieval Music and Inclusive Pedagogy, Musicology at Kalamazoo, May 2021

[AMS]

The Musicology at Kalamazoo Program Committee invites contributions for a roundtable on Medieval Music and Inclusive Pedagogy:

Interrogating Homogeny & Exclusion in the Teaching, Scholarship, and Cultural Stewardship of Medieval Musics

Organizers: Gillian Gower, Lucia Marchi, Luisa Nardini 

Respondent: Catherine Adoyo

This panel invites scholars to contribute to developing a theoretical framework for interrogating the parameters of Homogeny and Exclusion in the context of medieval music.

How does “Cultural Homogeny” undergird “Cultural Hegemony”? What role do Diversity and Inclusion initiatives play in establishing and articulating culturally cosmopolitan conceptions of intellectual, cultural, and aesthetic authority in the scholarship and teaching of medieval music? Do “Diversity and Inclusion” initiatives truly challenge the “Homogeny and Exclusion” that constitute intrinsically unjust and axiomatically accepted systems of authority that they are implicitly intended to address?
