Founded in 1998, the Popular Music Interest Group is dedicated to promoting the scholarly study of popular music through methods including musical analysis and theory. Our goals include:
• Ensuring academic recognition for popular music research
• Encouraging more scholars of music theory to engage popular repertoires
• Encouraging scholars of popular music to make effective use of musical analysis and theory

On our Humanities Commons site, we rely on our members to help edit this resource — this cooperation will help continually improve the presence of popular music in our classrooms and scholarship. Many thanks!

      SMT Jacksonville 2021:

      Call for Participants in a Panel Discussion hosted by the Society for Music Theory’s Popular Music Interest Group

      Panel Discussion: Marvin Gaye’s What’s Going On at 50

      2021 marks the fiftieth anniversary of Marvin Gaye’s What’s Going On (1971), an album that was recently awarded the number one spot on Rolling Stone’s “500 Greatest Albums of All Time” list. The Popular Music Interest Group will host an in-person panel discussion featuring Dr. Andrew Flory (Carleton College) as a respondent. The discussion will also be livestreamed.

      We are soliciting proposals for short (5-10 minute) expository arguments or analyses related to any aspect of this album, to be followed by a longer panel discussion and question/answer period. Please submit a 300-word proposal to mferrandino@ku.edu by 5:00 pm (EST) on Friday, August 13.
