*Call for Proposals*

Submission Deadline: December 21, 2021

  The Program Committee of the 63nd annual meeting of the Society for
Ethnomusicology, Southern California and Hawai'i Chapter (SEMSCHC) invites
and encourages local SEM members, students, faculty, and all others
interested in the field of ethnomusicology to submit proposals for the
forthcoming two day meeting (Saturday, March 12-Sunday, March 13, 2022).
This meeting will be hosted by the UC San Diego Department of Music, and
will take place entirely online. Proposals are invited for
individual papers, organized panels, and roundtable discussions. We also
welcome proposals for pre-recorded lecture-performances or other creative
contributions; these may be submitted using the same categories for papers,
panels or discussions, according to the time and number of participants
involved.

  As in the past, we prefer not to stipulate any conference themes in
advance, but instead allow themes to emerge from the abstracts received.
Preference will be given to SEMSCHC members. *This year, all
abstracts/proposals must be submitted via email to semschc at semschc.org
<https://www.semschc.org/semschc@semschc.org>*

  Proposals from graduate students in ethnomusicology and closely related
fields are especially welcome. Graduate student papers are eligible for the
Ki Mantle Hood Student Prize. Please indicate at the top of your abstract
submission if you would like to be considered for the Hood Prize.

  The Program Committee also strongly encourages local faculty and new or
visiting scholars to contribute to this program.

  • Individual Papers: Live or pre-recorded 15-20 minute paper followed by
5 minutes of live questions/discussion. Submit an abstract of 200-250 words
on the Proposal Submission Form. http://www.semschc.org/submit.html

  • Organized Panels: A 90-minute panel with three live or pre-recorded
15-20 minute papers or a 2-hour panel of four papers or three papers plus a
discussant. Each presentation (a paper or a discussant's formal response)
will be 15-20 minutes long, followed by 10 minutes of questions/discussion.
The Program Committee reserves the right to suggest the addition of a
panelist when an independently submitted abstract appears to fit a panel.
The panel chair/organizer must submit the Organized Panel abstracts &
information on the Proposal Submission Form. Include the panel abstract of
150 words (describing the rationale for the panel as a whole) and abstracts
for the individual papers of 200-250 words each.

  • Roundtable Discussions: Roundtable discussion sessions provide
opportunities for participants to discuss a subject with each other and
with members of the audience. Sessions lasting 60 or 90 minutes should
include three to five presenters. We encourage formats that stimulate
discussion and audience participation. The organizer will solicit
position papers of up to 10 minutes from each presenter and will facilitate
questions and discussion for the remaining time. The roundtable
chair/organizer must submit the Roundtable abstract and information on the
Proposal Submission Form. The abstract must outline the purpose/agenda and
organization of the session, as well as the anticipated contributions of
each participant (unnamed in the abstract).

  About Abstracts: Abstracts must be between 200 and 250 words (except for
the Panel Abstract, which should be 150 words), and should appear as a
single paragraph. Abstracts should demonstrate a clear focus or statement
of the paper, a coherent argument, knowledge of previous research, and a
statement of the implications for ethnomusicology.

*Submit abstracts/proposals via email to semschc at semschc.org
<https://www.semschc.org/semschc@semschc.org> by 5pm (PST) on December 21,
