Not sure if you’re familiar with the Journal of Hip Hop Studies, but it’s a wonderful open-access, peer reviewed journal that you might find useful for your course.

Society for Music Theory – Popular Music Interest Group on Humanities Commons 5 years, 6 months agoHi all,

Ellen Bakulina replied to the topic Call for papers in the discussion
Society for Music Theory—Russian Music Theory Interest Group on Humanities Commons 5 years, 7 months agoA little addition to the CFP: some of you expressed interest in holding a seminar-style music-analytical discussion in place of paper presentations. This is a great idea, but I thought it might be good to postpone this to a later year, since the 2020 SMT meting might be completely online, and a discussion on Zoom might involve technical and other problems.
