“Still We Rise”: Feminist Musicology in a Time of “Bitter, Twisted Lies”

27-29 Juillet 2017, San Francisco
deadline: Mar. 1, 2017

The 14th meeting of the international, biennial conference, Feminist Theory and Music, will take place in San Francisco, CA, July 27-29, 2017. Sponsored by San Francisco State University, the conference program invites papers and performances in a variety of formats. 

There is no time like the present for gathering around the defiant clarion call of Maya Angelou's 1978 poem, “Still I Rise”: “You may shoot me with your words / You may cut me with your eyes / You may kill me with your hatefulness / But still, like air, I'll rise.” What strategies does feminist scholarship offer in a time when we so urgently need to reenvision the poem's “wondrously clear daybreak” and its bold stance of not only survival, but of “sassiness” and hope?   

Proposals focusing on current social / political issues and any area of music and gender are encouraged. The conference also invites extended reflection on two momentous events of 2016: the opening of the long-awaited National Museum of African American History and Culture, and the passing of path-breaking composer Pauline Oliveros (1932-2016).

In addition to individual papers and performances, proposals for 90-minute panels of are also welcome. Please submit an abstract of no more than 250 words for scholarly papers of 20 minutes in length.

FT&M14 will take place on the campus of San Francisco State University https://www.sfsu.edu/.  Information on reasonably priced lodging and transportation options will be posted shortly.

Please send proposals to the FT&M 14 Program Committee at the following address: feministmusicandtheory-at-gmail.com on or before March 1, 2017. Questions about the conference program may be directed to Dr. Annie Randall (arandall -at- bucknell.edu).
