CALL FOR PAPERS
Fourth International Conference on
Analytical Approaches to World Music (AAWM 2016)
June 8–11, 2016
Hosted by The New School, New York, USA
Deadline: 1 December 2015
World music traditions are receiving increasing attention in all areas of music research, including ethnomusicology, music theory and analysis, music history, music psychology, and music information retrieval. Analytical Approaches to World Music 2016 is the fourth in a series of conferences that bring together scholars from diverse disciplines and cultures, in order to foster interdisciplinary and cross-cultural dialogue and promote new approaches and methods for the study of world music.
We welcome submissions that examine world musical traditions from any analytical and theoretical angles, including (but not limited to) ethnographic, historical, formal, computational, and cognitive perspectives. Submission formats include papers, posters, special sessions, and workshops.
Please see below for information on conference organization and submission guidelines.

Submission Guidelines
Papers Proposals for spoken papers should be submitted in an extended abstract format with customary headings (Introduction, Analysis, Conclusions, etc.). They should be about 700 words in length, including footnotes but not counting examples and bibliography. They should be accompanied by a separate 200-word abstract. Accepted papers will be allocated 30 minutes for presentation plus 15 minutes for discussion.
Posters Poster proposals should follow the same format as spoken paper proposals.
Authors may submit a given proposal as a paper, a poster, or both. The program committee will make a final recommendation on the presentation format, taking the author’s request into consideration. Abstracts and full proposals of the accepted papers and posters will be published online.
Special Sessions Authors of papers that share a common theme may propose to deliver them in a special session. Each paper should be submitted separately, and will be reviewed following the same process as that for spoken papers. In addition, a separate 700-word proposal and 200-word abstract should be submitted for the session as a whole.
Workshops / Alternative Formats Proposals for workshops or other alternative formats should also take the form of a 700-word proposal and a 200-word abstract. The proposals 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.
The submission deadline for all proposals is December 1, 2015. Notification of acceptance will be sent via email by early February 2016.
