Music Research Forum is currently accepting scholarly articles in the field of music from outstanding graduate students and young professionals. The deadline for submissions for Volume 37 (to be published in late summer 2023) is Wednesday, January 18, 2023.
Music Research Forum is a peer-reviewed journal published annually by the Graduate Student Association of the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music. Articles will be considered in any area of music scholarship, including but not limited to musicology, theory, composition, ethnomusicology, ludomusicology, music education, electronic media, and criticism. Particularly encouraged are submissions relating to studies surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion, popular music, gender and sexuality, trauma, disability, and social justice. Faculty are highly encouraged to pass this information along to students and recent graduates.
For over 30 years, Music Research Forum was printed and distributed to a subscriber base. Since Volume 32, Music Research Forum has been published on an open access, online platform which allows for the publication of articles with media components (see Music Research Forum).
