(As close to accurate as possible, but estimates are acceptable.) 25 Short Description of Project A short description of the project. This is the blurb on the back of a book. This is the elevator pitch. This is what you politely explain to the elder/unfamiliar family member who doesn't know what you do for work at that obligatory holiday gathering. This will be displayed publicly. Theorizing African American Music is a conference that highlights African American and Black perspectives on music and music theory, perspectives that have historically been marginalized in the United States. This conference provides a platform for scholars interested in the theory and analysis of African American music. TAAM foregrounds Black voices as we welcome all music theorists, musicologists, ethnomusicologists, music critics, composers, performers, and others invested in African American music. The intent of the conference is twofold. First, we address the historical erasure of African American scholars and their perspectives from the discipline of music theory. Equally important, we include musicological, ethnomusicological, and other analytical perspectives on American musics that can reasonably be said to have roots in African Americanism. ECDS developed a website for the 2025 conference, which was hosted at Emory University. The website is available for future use by the conference's organizers.
