AAWM Special Topics Symposium 2023:
We are pleased to announce the second installment of the AAWM symposium series dedicated to theoretical, analytical, and cognitive approaches to rhythm and meter in all global musical traditions, past and present. Our goal is to facilitate a gathering of some of the world’s leading scholars on these issues in a special four-day virtual research symposium the results of which will be available to scholars worldwide via publication in the open-access, peer-reviewed online journal ‘Analytical Approaches to World Music’. There will be a total of 48 individual presentations. Of these, 16 will be invited presentations. The keynote speaker will be Daniel Avorgbedor (University of Ghana). A call for papers will be issued in late September. Paper presentations will be virtual with a duration of 30+15 minutes. Paper sessions will be held in parallel on June 1-2 and 8 and include two parallel morning sessions (9.00-12.00) and two parallel afternoon sessions (14.00-17.00). The final day of the conference will convene on Friday, June 9 and be devoted to panel and discussion sessions exclusively while using the same schedule mentioned previously.
Accordingly, the morning panel sessions (A and B) will meet from 9.00-12.00; the afternoon panel sessions (C and D) will meet from 14.00-17.00.
