The Historical Ethnomusicology SIG will hold its annual Business Meeting at the upcoming annual conference of the Society for Ethnomusicology in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA (17-20 November, 2011). This will be the final meeting chaired by Professor David Hebert, as Dr. Ann Lucas will take leadership of the SIG into 2012 and 2013.
Members will be updated on the 2011 BFE session (announced below), and discuss planning of an Organized Roundtable on issues in historical methodology for inclusion in the 2012 conference in New Orleans, as well as a proposal for a special issue of an ethnomusicology journal (in 2013) on contemporary issues in music historiography. There will also be plans for a Histo-Ethno SIG dinner, an opportunity for voluntary donations (for website costs), and discussion of voting for a new Chair-Elect, as Ann's current role becomes vacated. We will also discuss transfership and effective future use of the Histo-Ethno SIG email (historicalethnomusicology@gmail.com), SIG public blog (http://historicalethnomusicology.blogspot.com), and SIG online forum (http://histoethno.ning.com) for planning of Histo-Ethno SIG projects and activities.
