Lowens Article Award Application Information
Lowens Article Award Competition for an article published in 2011
Deadline for submissions: May 15, 2012
The Irving Lowens Article Award is granted annually by the Society for American Music for an article that makes an outstanding contribution to the study of American music. Articles eligible for consideration include studies on any aspect of music of the United States, together with investigations of American practices as they inform and intersect with musical cultures and traditions beyond U.S. national boundaries.
We invite nominations for the Society's Irving Lowens Article Award for an article published in 2011 "that makes an outstanding contribution to American music studies." The article might have been published in either a peer-reviewed journal or an edited collection. The committee particularly appreciates nominations of articles from collections, because these are harder for us to locate. Please send the name of the article and a full citation to john.spitzer@notes.sfcm.edu. The deadline for nominations is May 15, 2012.
Committee members: Jennifer
Delapp Birkett, Robert Walser, Steve Swayne, Christina Magaldi, and John
