About Us

The Music and Media Study Group seeks to foster the development of scholarship on the interactions of music and media within contexts of history, culture, and identity. The group promotes the scholarly consideration of music and media from all geographies, eras, and traditions, advocating for the recognition and integration of this line of inquiry into academic and public musicological discourse.

We seek to:

• Offer professional and scholarly mentorship opportunities, networking, and collaboration;
• Provide a forum to further develop our ideas and open intellectual and social dialogue;
• Share resources, ideas, and avenues for sharing, presenting, publicizing, or publishing our work.

Our activities include business meetings and a diverse array of intellectual sessions at AMS Annual Meetings; maintaining an Internet presence, including a bibliography and links of resources; and supporting a method for continued discussion.
