Course Description
This seminar critically overviews the intellectual genealogies of what are now called popular music studies, popular musicology, etc., and attempts to contemplate the dialectical relationship between the socio-culture dimensions of music and the musical dimensions of society and culture. This seminar consists of the three major parts. Part one deals with key concepts and definitions surrounding the very notion of popular music and with the interdisciplinary origins and intellectual trajectories of the study of popular music. Part II and Part III are both concerned with diverse theoretical positions regarding the inter-relatedness between musical text and soocio-cultural context, with an analytical and critical stress on studying popular music in/as/through culture and society and on studying culture and society in/as/through popular music respectively.

Course Description
This course introduces themes and theoretical frameworks used to approach the study of popular music. With American popular music of the late 19th and 20th centuries acting as something of a case study, students are encouraged to consider issues related to technology, genre, race, gender, capitalism, and colonialism. The course looks beyond canonical artists, genres, and events to consider the ways popular music comes to have meaning and has changed across the decades. This course requires no prior experience with music theory or notation, and is open to all students across the university. Weekly topics are subject to change year to year, but an indicative list might include: defining the popular; technology and listening; African American influences; popular music and protest; and "world" music.

Course Description
This course examines the development of western popular music from the 1950s to the present day. Although the course content is arranged chronologically, the course is not an exhaustive survey. Rather, each week focuses on a selected genre or thread in modern popular music, from rock and roll to hip-hop to underground and dance music; by examining these genres and threads, students are introduced to theoretical frameworks by which they can analyze and understand the music in question. These frameworks include media theory, gender and performativity, and the critical examination of race and identity. The course also focuses more broadly on how popular music propagates itself over time via its relationship to technology, cultural and subcultural movements, and political currents. Although the course does introduce and employ a few basic musical-analytical concepts, it is an elective course and has no prerequisites.

Course Description
The ongoing interaction between music, the sciences, and engineering is emerging as a major concern in 21st century musicology and sound studies. In this course, students survey this new body of literature, covering topics from the renaissance to the present day, in order to understand why this interaction matters, and how it can inform our understanding of musical materials and musical ideas. The course examines some of the ways that music has been treated as an object of scientific study, as well as the ways that music has been used by scientists and engineers to understand other aspects of nature, culture, and society. It also assesses the degree to which science and engineering have contributed to the progress of musical aesthetics. Using case studies from the history of music, musical instruments, and musicology it also introduces key concepts in the philosophy and sociology of modern science.
