If you are a graduate student in the humanities (construed as broadly as possible), what is the MOST EXCITING book published in the last five years to you? Please repost if you’re not a graduate student!

I love teaching because what do you mean I'm using the first act of L'Orfeo as an excuse to talk about Tom Holland and Zendaya's wedding with my students on Tuesday.

The collective gasp of shock and excitement from my students when I told them I tried Cookout for the first time over the weekend. My Northeastern mind still cannot comprehend.

Yesterday was our first discussion day in Grad Musicology Review and the students and I enjoyed thinking with this banger of a blog post by the late great Linda Shaver-Gleason. notanothermusichistorycliche.blogspot.com/2018/01/is-m...

Is Music a Universal Language?

Musicologist Linda Shaver-Gleason finds articles about classical music that contain debunked myths and cliché descriptions.

I do something similar. I ask students to reflect on what they notice, value, and wonder about each week’s materials and discussions.

Thanks Wayne! Excited to dig in to these.

Has anyone in music studies (maybe music theory?) written about the dembow/reggaeton beat pattern in US American or European popular music? Asking for, uh, me

This would be super helpful, thank you. I'll be teaching my first grad seminar next spring and am very curious about alternative assignments that are maybe not a traditional Final Paper™️ but still hone students' research and argumentative writing skills.

An artifact from my very first AMS conference! Back when I was a wee first year Master’s student still figuring out what musicology is. 🥹 That was such an exciting time, and I can’t wait to guide my own Master’s students through their first conference experiences!

I really enjoyed her starting in the green room and making her way to the stage! She had such an amazing presence in the arena and it was so fun to watch. It’s the only winner’s reprise I’ve been compelled to watch again (and again) in my 15+ years of following live.
