Trevor deClercq commented on the doc Working Draft — Proposed Bylaws in the group
Society for Music Theory – Popular Music Interest Group on Humanities Commons 6 years, 7 months agoOh, OK. I didn’t know we had a “mission statement.” I think our “mission” has actually changed somewhat since the PMIG was founded, since popular music is now more of an established research area than it was years ago. Anyway, I think your addition of a fourth point would be sufficient, Megan. Thanks!

Megan Lavengood commented on the doc Working Draft — Proposed Bylaws in the group
Society for Music Theory – Popular Music Interest Group on Humanities Commons 6 years, 7 months agoGood points here. The “purpose” was basically copy-pasted from our “mission statement” on the SMT website. We could make something pedagogy-oriented a fourth element in the article. Perhaps: “(4) to model and advocate for popular repertoire in music theory pedagogy”?

Megan Lavengood commented on the doc Working Draft — Proposed Bylaws in the group
Society for Music Theory – Popular Music Interest Group on Humanities Commons 6 years, 7 months agoThank you for your thoughts, Mitch!
1a—I’m fine with putting that in this draft. I don’t see any reason why people would oppose it being more inclusive. I think we should discuss that (along with the 3-year terms) at the meeting explicitly, though.
1b—I left them out just in case we want to add another award someday, so we don’t have to ame…[Read more] -
Trevor deClercq commented on the doc Working Draft — Proposed Bylaws in the group
Society for Music Theory – Popular Music Interest Group on Humanities Commons 6 years, 7 months agoWell done, Megan. I think this is great.
I agree with Mitch that the window for awards should be 3 years. Based on when an article is published and when the PMIG meets, the 2-year window might effectively be only a single chance to submit.
My only other suggested change is to add (or change) something in “Article II: Purpose” to more…[Read more]

Mitchell Ohriner commented on the doc Working Draft — Proposed Bylaws in the group
Society for Music Theory – Popular Music Interest Group on Humanities Commons 6 years, 7 months agoGreat work on this, Megan! Some points for consideration:
1. Awards.
a. The term on SMT awards is 3 years, as opposed to the 2 here. As a subfield, I can easily imagine a banner year producing multiple works we’d want to recognize and the 3 year window would allow for that. Of course, it would also increase the workload of the committee but I…[Read more] -

Society for Music Theory – Popular Music Interest Group on Humanities Commons 6 years, 7 months agoHello! At our next meeting, I would like to vote in some bylaws. While bylaws are not at present common in the SMT Interest Groups, I think it may be the right time for our group, for a few reasons:
