Musicological Colloquium winter term 2020/21

Please note: The colloquium has been rescheduled to take place entirely online, see details on the right side.

This semester, we alternate weekly between two formats:

1) in the light of the recent debates regarding racism within music studies, we use our colloquium to discuss an online talk or discussion on race and racism (usually 60 mins, except for the first session). We each watch these talks (individually on YouTube, find the links in the schedule on StudIP) before our meeting (on Zoom), take notes, and take time to think about how the ideas and challenges these talks address can be translated to music studies. The goal of these sessions is to critically translate these discussions for our field (music studies at large), sensitize ourselves to our own roles in these dynamics, and exchange ideas about how we can _should_ contribute to positive change.

2) online (Zoom) talks by guest speakers, followed by an online moderated discussion about that talk.
