Accessibility and the History of Theory
Chair(s): August Sheehy (Stony Brook University)
Organized by the History of Music Theory Study Group.
This meeting will focus on relationships between the history of music theory and urgent questions of accessibility. What have music theories made (in)accessible, and to whom? What do the field's concepts, objects, and practices reveal about ability and disability? And in what ways or contexts might histories of music theory serve as occasions for the historicization or even critique of current discourses around accessibility? Discussion will be prompted by short presentations and anchored in pre-circulated materials.
Updates will be provided regarding changes in Study Group leadership and there will be a short discussion about the Study Group's future activities.
