Submission Deadline: November 15, 2025
The Student Society for Musicology at the University of Florida is pleased to re-announce the Fifteenth Annual Southern Graduate Music Research Symposium to be held on a new date of January 17, 2026, at the historic University of Florida Campus in Gainesville, FL. The conference will be in person since we are unable to provide for virtual presentations.
We invite graduate students to submit proposals for papers, lecture recitals, or video presentations on any topic related to the fields of musicology, music theory, or ethnomusicology. Interdisciplinary approaches are particularly encouraged. Paper presentations will be twenty minutes in length followed by a ten-minute question and answer period. Lecture recitals and video presentations should conform to 45 minutes, including a question and answer period.
Proposals of no more than 250 words, should be submitted as a single PDF file to Florida.ssm -at- gmail.com by November 15. In addition to the PDF proposal, please include the type of presentation (paper, lecture recital, or video), the title of the paper, author’s name, institutional affiliation, email address, and telephone number in your email. Submissions will be reviewed anonymously, so do not include identifying information on the abstract itself.
Please email all inquiries to the Conference Chair, John-Peter S. Ford at johnpeterford -at- ufl.edu.
All materials must be received by or before November 15, 2025 5pm EST. Decisions will be returned by December 1, 2025.
