The Society for American Music’s Education Committee solicits proposals for a series of online video lectures on American music topics. Designed for general audiences (including, but not limited to, high school and university students, concertgoers, and/or historical societies), these lectures may address any topic or theme in American music studies and should approach the material with the layperson in mind. Each “Digital Lecture in American Music” should be 10–15 minutes in length (and no more than 20 minutes). Please note that the Society employs an expansive definition of “American music” that encompasses all musics of the Americas, and especially welcomes submissions addressing Latin music, Canadian music, Indigenous music, and other marginalized music traditions. We also encourage proposals that explore creative uses of VoiceOver, editing, and musical performances. The committee will prioritize submissions from those who have not previously developed a digital lecture for the Society. Lectures in the DLAM series should consist of original and previously unpublished scholarship; if the proposal is based on previously published work, please explain any planned revisions. Lectures should also be as accessible as possible; please have a plan for captioning and meeting ADA guidelines. The DLAM series is reviewed by the Education Committee and authors receive feedback at each phase of the process.
