#Musicology folks: I'm preparing to teach my seminar Contemporary Issues in Musicology. This class uses 6 recently published monographs as a window into the current state of the field. What books published since 2015 do you feel might be a good candidate?

My essay on Ralph Ellison the audiophile is out in the world. It’s a reflection on writing about music and listening to writing.
The collection may not be on the radars of music folks, so do holler if you’d like to read a copy.

I'm not an expert on grief or grieving but in UNSTAGED GRIEF I do make the case for how and why #musicals are.

On this #NationalGriefAwarenessDay, we are considering @jakejohnsonphd's (@OKCU) UNSTAGED GRIEF: Musicals and Mourning in Midcentury America (go.illinois.edu/s25johnson) -- which aims at finding the hidden grief within movie and TV musicals of the long 1960s.
