CFP: 59th International Congress on Medieval Studies, Western Michigan Univ., Kalamazoo/Online, 9-11 May 2024
AMS-Announce
The program committee for Musicology at Kalamazoo invites submissions for the 59th International Congress on Medieval Studies, May 9-11, 2024. The session topics approved by the Congress can be viewed at wmich.edu/medievalcongress/call and include:
IN PERSON:
Chant and Liturgy, co-sponsored by the Cantus Planus Study Group of the International Musicological Society (ID 5019)
Music and Materiality (ID 5055)
Music and Identity (ID 4967)
Song in the Middle Ages (ID 5059)
Women Leading the Liturgy (ID 4971)
HYBRID:
Translation, Transformation, Transmission: Global Perspectives on Medieval Music (ID 5014)
VIRTUAL:
Medievalism and Music (ID 5020)
Polyphony (ID 4979)
Reuse and Recycling (ID 5052)
Medieval Music and Digital Humanities (ID 4996)
We hope these topics can foster dialogue between musicologists and scholars in other areas, so we encourage specialists in fields other than Music to submit proposals. Musicology at Kalamazoo strives to foster an environment that is supportive of medievalists of color and other marginalized groups. Papers tackling themes of diversity, inclusion, pedagogy, class, race, disability, gender, and sexual orientation will also be particularly welcome at our sessions.
Please keep in mind that we intend these session titles mostly as "hooks," rather than limitations, on which a multitude of proposals can be placed, so send us your best work. Proposals for papers (usually 20 mins) should include an abstract of no more than 300 words. All proposals must be submitted by 15 September 2023 via the Confex call for papers system on the ICMS website: https://icms.confex.com/icms/2024/cfp.cgi. This is required by the Medieval Institute.
The committee is also looking for volunteers to chair sessions. Self-nominations may be sent with a brief CV to the program committee at musicology.kzoo -at- gmail.com.
If you have any questions, please contact the committee at musicology.kzoo -at- gmail.com. We look forward to seeing you at Kalamazoo next May.
Sincerely,
The Musicology at Kalamazoo Program Committee
