The Journal of the International Alliance for Women in Music invites article submissions for our September 2025 issue. The IAWM annual concert will take place this year in Cologne, Germany at St. Cecilia’s, the Romanesque church that houses the Schnütgen Museum of medieval art.

Inspired by the history of the church, which was originally a women’s convent named after the patron saint of musicians, composers, instrument makers, and poets, we invite articles on the broad topic of women in music in Europe, both historical and contemporary. We welcome articles from the fields of historical musicology, ethnomusicology, composition, performance, music education, music theory, sound studies, and beyond.

Deadline for submitting a proposal: May 30, 2025

Before submitting an article, submit a proposal comprising an abstract of about 250 words and your short biography, about 50 words. Send it as an e-mail attachment in MS Word to journal -at- iawm.org with “Article proposal” in the subject line of the e-mail. The abstract should articulate the thesis of your inquiry, what evidence you will use, and how it relates to the mission of the IAWM. Make clear what is already known about your topic and what you will contribute that is new. Estimate the number of words your article will be (1000 to 5000 words, including footnotes, is typical). A short bibliography (about 3-4 sources) is helpful to assess your proposal, as is a short list of musical examples, photographs, or other illustrative material you intend to use. If the proposal is approved, the editor will send more detailed information about your individual submission. The deadline for approved article submissions is June 30, 2025.
