History of Emotions Working Group

A Townsend Center Working Group focusing on emerging methods in the study of history of emotions across disciplines.
The recent efflorescence of novel approaches to the history of emotions has led observers to suggest an emotional turn in scholarship. Reassessing interior states conventionally assumed to be hardwired and intrinsic to human nature, the history of emotions insists on their contingency and social transience.

Colloquium in the Studies of Music

A working group for graduate students engaged with music-affiliated topics

Our lunchtime meetings, hosted in the music department, offer a weekly forum for graduate students engaged with music-affiliated topics to present their research before an audience of peers and faculty. With our wide range of topics and approaches we aim to foster closer dialogue between musicology, ethnomusicology and sound studies at the graduate level. Hoping to dispell the myth that particular musical training is required to talk meaningfully about music in culture and society, we also welcome colleagues from other fields as discussants.
