CALL FOR PAPERS
Eighth International Conference on
Analytical Approaches to World Musics (AAWM 2024)
June 10–14, 2024
University of Bologna, Italy
The year 2024 marks the eighth instalment of the AAWM International
Biennial Conference series. Exploration of the rich musical heritage of the
world continues to receive increasing attention from a broad array of
theoretical, cultural, historical, psychological, empirical, informatics,
and analytical perspectives. Analytical Approaches to World Musics 2024
brings together scholars to explore the panoply of global musical
traditions, both past and present, that lie outside the purview of European
Art Music in order to foster interdisciplinary and cross-cultural dialogue
and promote new approaches and methods.
In place of the traditional keynote lectures, the meeting will include a
number of special panel sessions and roundtables, provisionally titled:
-

AAWM 2024 welcomes submissions that examine the world’s musical traditions
from any analytical or theoretical angle, including (but not limited to)
ethnographic, historical, formal, computational, and cognitive
perspectives. Submission formats include papers, posters, special sessions,
lecture-recitals, and workshops. To maximize access and affordability, AAWM
2024 will be held as a hybrid event with options for both onsite and remote
participation.
Graduate students and scholars within five years of receiving the PhD will
be considered for the Rob Schultz Junior Scholar Award, established in 2016
to honor the memory of the co-founder of the Analytical Approaches to World
Music journal and conference series. The best paper presented by a junior
scholar will be published in the journal, and the author will also receive
a modest cash award.
Please see below for information on conference organization and submission
guidelines for AAWM 2024.

Authors may submit a given proposal as a paper, a poster, or both. The

format, taking the author’s request into consideration. Abstracts of the
accepted papers and posters will be published online.
Panel Sessions: Authors of papers that share a common theme may propose to
deliver them in a panel session. Each paper should be submitted separately,
and will be reviewed following the same process as that for spoken papers.

whole, including a 350-word abstract.
Workshops / Lecture Recitals / Alternative Formats: Proposals for workshops
or other alternative formats should also be submitted as a 350-word
abstract. They should give as many details as possible about the precise
format they will employ, how many participants can attend, and the size and
type of space they will require. We welcome presentations that involve
music performance as long as they include a substantial original analytical
or theoretical component consistent with the call for papers.
