Presents a broad perspective on the intellectual history of musical scholarship across many disciplines. Aims to provide music students with an overview of the contemporary enterprise of music scholarship, as well as to understand the history of social scientific inquiry within that enterprise.

All students in this course will conduct independent research projects.  Permission of the instructor is required.

NOTE: This class often fills quickly. Students interested in taking it but unable to register should attend on the first day of classes.  Priority will be given to Music majors/minors/concentrators and Anthropology majors/minors/concentrators, and then by seniority.
