[Commlist] International Association for the Study of Popular Music-United States Call for Papers

The International Association for the Study of Popular Music-United 
States invites proposals for its 2021 annual conference. In recognition 
of these extraordinary times and the continuing public health concerns 
and struggles for social and racial justice that we face, this meeting 
will take place virtually on May 19-22, 2021. We encourage proposals 
that speak to the specific challenges of this historic moment, but more 
broadly welcome proposals for individual papers and panels (up to four 
individuals) on any aspect of popular music.

Papers will be 10-15 minutes in length and will be uploaded a month 
prior to the conference for asynchronous viewing. We are also asking 
that a written copy of the paper be uploaded for captioning and 
accessibility. Panels will emphasize dialogue, Q&A, and exchange.

Please submit proposals via Word document or PDF to 
(iaspmus2020 /at/ gmail.com) <mailto:(iaspmus2020 /at/ gmail.com)> with "last name, 
first name" in the subject line no later than midnight December 4, 2020. 
Individual submissions should include a paper title, the presenter's 
name, contact information and a 250-word abstract that identifies the 
methodology used, states the paper's goals, summarizes the context and 
argument of the paper, and includes a brief conclusion. Organized panels 
should include a 250-word description of the panel's rationale and 
goals, and a 250-word abstract for each individual participating in the 
panel. Roundtables, consisting of a moderated conversation with 4 – 6 
participants, require a single 250 word abstract and a list of 
roundtable members, and should designate one person as the panel chair. 
Roundtables and organized panels can be allotted up to a two-hour time 
slot. Abstracts not adhering to the word count will not be considered.

IASPM-US is a multidisciplinary organization and invites proposals from 
and across all fields of scholarly inquiry. Conference proposals from 
intellectuals outside of academia, including teachers, museum and 
archive professionals, musicians and music professionals, and 
independent scholars, are encouraged. IASPM-US is also a friendly 
conference for students at all levels. We especially welcome proposals 
from members of underrepresented groups including, but not limited to, 
women, Black/African American, Indigenous, and People of Color, people 
with disabilities, and people from LGBTQ+ communities, as well as people 
of different ages, socio/economic classes, nationalities, and religions. 
We encourage people to self-identify in their proposals as a member of 
one of the groups listed above.

This year's program committee consists of Justin Patch (chair), Anthony 
Kwame Harrison, K. E. Goldschmitt, Brian F. Wright, Rebekah Farrugia, 
and Kathryn Metz.

Please note: All conference presenters must be registered IASPM members 
(or must register after paper, panel, or roundtable acceptance; there is 
no need to register to submit). For membership and conference
