Midwest Music Research Collective (MMRC) is pleased to announce our 3rd annual conference via video conferencing software on March 26–27, 2021 held conjunctly with Musicians for an Anti-Racist College (KUMARC). A keynote address will be given by Dr. A.D. Carson from University of Virginia

MMRC would like to extend an invitation to graduate students from any discipline whose research deals with music to submit proposals for paper presentations.

MMRC and KUMARC want to uplift topics from the margins of music. This can take the form of researchers that are often marginalized within their field, research on topics that are outside of the canon, or both.
