The Midwest Music Research Collective is pleased to announce their fourth annual conference held conjunctly with Musicians for an Anti-Racist College (MARC). A keynote address will be presented by Dr. Evan Williams (Rhodes College) on the subject of the \”Myth of the Genius Composer.\” The conference will be a hybrid event held on March 19th & 20th at the University of Kansas in Lawrence, Kansas.

MMRC would like to extend an invitation to graduate students from any discipline whose research deals with music to submit proposals for paper presentations.

MMRC and KUMARC want to uplift topics from the margins of music. This can take the form of research that are often marginalized within their field, research on topics that are outside of the canon, or both. This year, we would like to focus on research pertaining to composers, compositions, performance practice, and/or pedagogical practices.

Applicants should send a 200-350 word abstract to the program committee chair, Luke Helker, via .doc or .pdf attachment to lrhelker@ku.edu. We will also accept abstracts in the body of the email if you do not possess the technology to create a document in the aforementioned file types. All submissions will be anonymized prior to selection for the conference.

Submissions will be accepted until December 31st, 2021. All applicants will be notified of the program committee\’s decision via email by January 31st, 2022.

You should send your submission via the email address you wish to use for conference communications; please make sure that you sign your submission (the attachment or the email itself) with your full name as you would like to be addressed and display your preferred pronouns.
