The Garth Institute for Music Research and Performance will be hosting a symposium –
"Ethnicity, Femininity, and the History of Music" – in Michigan in Fall 2014 (date TBD). This event is dedicated to works-in-progress that promote the contributions of people from underrepresented groups in music, music history and theory, and pedagogy.

Those interested must submit a proposal of no more than 300 words in Word format
(.doc) accompanied by a CV of no more than 3 pages. No previously published work
will be accepted as the event is designed to provide a forum for productive and supportive discussion of works-in-progress. All proposals are due by March 15, 2014. Applicants will be notified by email by June 2014 on whether their proposals have been accepted for presentation. Send all proposals and expressions of interest
