Noriko Manabe replied to the topic PMIG Meeting Reminder in the discussion
Society for Music Theory – Popular Music Interest Group on Humanities Commons 6 years, 3 months agoHi, I have updates I’d like to make to the bibliography, but I can’t make it to SMT this year—it conflicts with SEM, where I’m a board member. Is it possible for me to edit the document, or should I email someone my suggestions?

Society for Music Theory – Popular Music Interest Group on Humanities Commons 6 years, 6 months agoThe proliferation of online news and general interest websites (such as FiveThirtyEight, Slate, Vox, and others) over the past decade has centered around a particular genre of short-form expository writing, sometimes referred to as the “thinkpiece,” “explainer,” or “blessay” (blog + essay). These essays analyze and comment upon current events,…[Read more]

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, 8 months agoThanks to both of you for getting this important conversation started. It would certainly be worthwhile to explicitly discuss what our purpose is at the next meeting, and update both our mission statement and purpose statement, and I’ll add that to the agenda along with these suggestions.

Ciro Scotto commented on the doc Working Draft — Proposed Bylaws in the group
Society for Music Theory – Popular Music Interest Group via email on Humanities Commons 6 years, 8 months agoHi All,
I agree with Trevor, and John has been making this point at the meetings for the last few years, that our “mission” has actually changed (and I won’t qualify this with somewhat) since the PMIG. Here are points that I believe are from the mission statement:
• Ensuring academic recognition for popular music research
• Encouragi…[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, 8 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, 8 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, 8 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] - Load More
