DSST 10: The Role of Music Throughout the Life Span
0.5 Credit
Focusing on an interdisciplinary, international perspective on mapping the musical life course, this seminar highlights a deepening social responsibility among scholars and artists concerned with learning and participation in music across the life course. Themes may include:
- Definitions of the “musical life course”
- Affordances, constraints, and challenges in the musical life course
- Theoretical frameworks for understanding those affordances and challenges within multicultural contexts, focusing specifically on the notions of quality of life, agency, and sense of coherence in life experience
- Methodological paradigms
Students are given opportunities to reflect their own research in collaborative contexts with peers and faculty.
