Join us for our first Musicology Colloquium Series of the spring with Dr. Philip Ewll discussing

“How We Got Here, Where To Next: Examining Assimilationism in
American Music Studies”

In this talk, I consider our past so that we might chart a path for the future. Only through an exhaustive study of the past can we truly understand why the academic study of music is what it is today, a study that remains exclusionist with respect to musics that are not centered around both whiteness and maleness. In coming to terms with this difficult past we together—white, black, and everyone in between—can create a new academic study of music, rich and inclusive, which will be rewarding and emancipating for all.

Dr. Philip Ewell is an Associate Professor of Music Theory at Hunter College of the City University of New York, where he serves as Director of Graduate Studies.
