3 unit(s)

S. Fast (cross-listed as GENDR ST *705)

This course considers how gender and sexuality are constituted through music. A range of scholarly work that has laid the theoretical groundwork for the fields of feminist music studies, queer studies in music, and music and masculinities will be examined; case studies from across the spectrum of pop, jazz, “world” and classical music will also be taken up, both through readings and through recorded and live performances.
