CFP Extension for Undergraduate Research Forum
The deadline to submit a proposal SCSMT Spring 2021 virtual conference has now passed. Thank you for your submissions.
We have, however, decided to extend the CFP for the undergraduate research forum until December 7th at 11:59 pm CST.
UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH FORUM SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: Submissions should comprise a single document in .doc(x) or .pdf format. Proposals should be no longer than 250 words, including all footnotes and/or endnotes. Up to two pages of supplemental examples and materials (e.g., musical examples, diagrams, selected bibliography) may be submitted exclusive to the 250-word limit. Proposals should articulate the paper’s premise and its relation to existing music theoretical research and provide some illustration of applications. Since proposals will be evaluated anonymously, they should exclude the author’s name and any other signal of authorship.

The Spring 2021 meeting of the South-Central Society for Music Theory will be held entirely online from February 19 – 21, 2021.
The Program Committee invites proposals on any topic in the field of music theory, though proposals related to this year’s theme of Music of the South Central Region are particularly encouraged. The South Central area includes the states of Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, and West Georgia. This includes music from vernacular traditions of the region (the Delta Blues, Jazz, Bluegrass, etc.), popular music from prominent centers and studios (Atlanta, Nashville, Memphis, Muscle Shoals, etc.), and concert music composers with a connection to the region (Florence Price, William Grant Still, etc.)
The conference will feature a keynote address from Lori Burns (Professor of Music, University of Ottawa) as well as an Undergraduate Research Forum.
Scholars applying for the primary CFP should propose 20-minute papers. Those applying for the Undergraduate Research Forum should propose 10-minute papers.
SUBMISSION DEADLINE: November 15th at 11:59pm CST. Confirmation of proposals received will be made electronically upon their receipt. Authors will be notified electronically of the Program Committee’s decision by mid-December, 2020.
