H. Wiley Hitchcock Institute for Studies in American Music

The H. Wiley Hitchcock Institute for Studies in American Music at Brooklyn College (HISAM) supports American music scholarship, pedagogy, and performances. We recognize and seek to connect diverse local, national, and global musical practices across a broad spectrum of oral, popular, and art music traditions. We represent scholars, performers, and creators that reflect the racial, economic, and gender diversity of our students, faculty, community, and the world. Through our biannual publication, American Music Review, the Polycultural America Speaker Series, monographs, collection of oral histories, and forums for public musicology, the faculty and staff of HISAM seek to resist systems of oppression, acknowledge the privileges of whiteness, strive for social justice, and publicly promote antiracism.

A Legacy of Feminist Musicology

Join us as we celebrate the writing, mentoring, and field-changing work of Ellie Hisama. The afternoon’s events will include discussions of Gendering Musical Modernism, the conference and book Ruth Crawford Seeger’s Worlds, and a keynote address by Dr. Hisama. We’ll conclude with a screening of selections from Miriam Gideon’s opera Fortunato.
