ICTMD Study Group on Music and Allied Arts of Greater South Asia

Chair: Richard K. Wolf rwolf@fas.harvard.edu

Secretary: Natalie Sarrazin nataliesarrazin@hotmail.com

The mission of the ICTMD Study Group on Music and Allied Arts of Greater South Asia is to foster the study of sound, music and allied arts in South Asia broadly conceived. We encourage collaborative and comparative work with colleagues across the region and areas connected through geographical contiguity, diaspora, trade, and the internet. We wish to promote the acts of doing and making—whether that involves performing, dancing, composing, drawing, or any other relevant form of participation—as integral parts of scholarly study. We strive toward inclusiveness with regard to scholarly approaches and participation.

This study group will meet approximately every two years, generally in conjunction with another regionally defined group and in a variety of international locations. All ICTMD members in good standing are welcome to join and non-ICTMD members will generally be invited to attend its meetings.

Those who wish to join ICTMD but are unable to owing to “unavoidable economical, financial, or other constraints” are invited to apply for supported memberships (click here).

Joining the MAAGSA Study Group involves no dues and is open to all scholars and practitioners interested in our ongoing conversation. Please click here stg-maagsa-subscribe@ictmusic.org to join.
